Kurt,
I'm forwarding your message to the Etherboot and LTSP mailing lists,
which reach people who may be able to address your questions more
directly.
I have never personally attempted to run MS Windows disklessly, but I
believe there are some files in the contrib/ directory of the Etherboot
distribtion that discuss this. Perhaps someone on the lists can be more
helpful.
You may wish to join the lists or search the archives of the lists to see
where this topic has come up in the past.
If you have success, please contribute your findings so that we can help
others with similar interests.
Marty

Marty,
Can you give us some advice?
Our Users Group is building a diskless cluster that we want to run the
following experiment on...
We want to load a RAMdisk image cluster IAW your instructions that have
been turned into the PXE HOWTO on ltsp.org, but then we want to try to
tar
up a WINNT directory and see if we can get that working... I know this
will
be fraught with problems but we only want to try this for one purpose
really...
the Win driver for IP-over-1394 drivers are much more mature than the
Linux
ones and we want to run a multi-peer test to see what kind of throughput
we
can get...
is this even possible? Or is there something in Win NT that won't let us
run it out of a RAM disk..
