It's really weird, and I like weird problems. :) Since you are looking at automating a complicated process, here is a crazy idea which you might want to consider (1) Get two machines, interconnect them via a small Ethernet switch. (2) Designate one machine as a PXE server, and the other as your test machine (3) Set up a FreeBSD PXE boot environment wit NFS root, as per: https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-diskless.html#network-pxe-nfs (4) Figure out how to PXE boot a Windows95 environment. There are articles out there for PXE booting FreeDOS which might be a place to start: http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~dbaird/work/2013/11/05/pxe-boot-freedos-hard-disk-image/ On the DHCP server, you can modify dhcpd.conf to change which OS will boot via PXE boot. If you can: -> automate the reboot of your test server -> automate the modification of dhcpd.conf on your PXE server via some process then you might be able to get it to work. :) -- Craig _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
