I put together a patch that adds option 60 to the FreeBSD kernel BOOTP code.
I fill in the vendor indentifier string as:
<ostype>:<MACHINE>:<osrelease>
partially based on how NetBSD does it. However, NetBSD uses this format:
<ostype>:<MACHINE>:kernel:<osrelease>
I wonder how usefull the "kernel" part is. Should we just do it to
follow suit with NetBSD. I'm thinking we probably should do it the
same way as NetBSD.
Note I started on adding this code and then looked at what NetBSD did.
I can add similar code to the pxeboot loader.
The goal is that via the vendor identifier I can have various OS and
BOOTP/DHCP configured type things get the right info at the right
time and avoid tag conflicts. I think the <MACHINE> part would be
useful for those that netboot various different types off one server.
Attached is my patch to -current. After a review I'd like to commit
something like this.
TIA for a review,
Doug A.
