Hi. I'd like to see more documentation on howto netboot an os with GRUB. Right now, I just can't make netboot working with grub-0.5.93.1. I have compiled GRUB with --enable-ne and --enable-tftp and written both stage1 and stage2 to a floppy. After I've booted with the disk and type root = (nd) in the CLI, all I see on my monitor is <sleep> <sleep> .. I've tried with both bootpd (I've ran that on both my Linux and FreeBSD box) and dhcpd. It doesn't work :/. Hmm. It actually worked once, when I let this root = (nd) time out, so that I got the prompt back, and typed in root = (nd) again. But then it didn't work to download the menu/config file. I guess I've setup tftp correct =P. Anyway, I think it weird that it just works sometimes, and not always =>. So, I'd like to see more documentation on this subject. Thanks in advance, Noah Williamsson.
