Hello

Do you have any reason to not use pxeboot? Take a look in /usr/mdec.

Else, take a look at  flashdist-20060413.tar
residing here http://www.nmedia.net/~chris/soekris/

Hope this is readable although I'm writing it in the virusmanager outlook express.

/regards from Sweden

the tftpd resides on a 3.9 and the bsd.rd kernel is from 3.9-RELEASE. i installed the tftpd as explained in the faq and this is my /tftpboot/etc/boot.conf:

~ # cat /tftpboot/etc/boot.conf
set tty com0
boot bsd.rd

same thing with latest snapshot:

anyone has any ideas to point me in the correct direction?

TIA,
marc
