Bootp Installing a Thinkpad?
Hi there, I have just gotten my fingers on a Thinkpad 765D. The external floppy drive is busted, and the thing will not boot from CD-ROM. However, according to its bios settings, it should be able to netboot. Can someone point me in the right direction how to set up a bootp install server, analogous to Solaris jumpstart, for FreeBSD? I'd like to put 5.1-R on this thing, and I have a running 4.8-R server available. Cheers, -John ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Bootp Installing a Thinkpad?
Brilliant--many thanks. After some more poking around, I also found this (I'd missed it because I never heard of PXE before): http://matt.simerson.net/computing/freebsd.netboot.shtml Cheers, -John John, http://www.chuug.org/talks/index.html It's the first listing.
