Are there any faqs or web pages that will describe this process in more
detail? I have 5 new XServes that I'd need to netboot from a single
host. Unfortunately, that host has to be a non-apple machine. My project
requires that each of the XServes has all 3 drives available for data
storage so they'll all have to netboot. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jonathan

I assume that's a limit imposed by open firmware. (thanks steve!).
Have you ever tried sending the kernel from an x86 box instead of
another apple?I wondered if the host machine has to be the same
endieness as the client...

Wont work without a different kernel because the YDL kernel is too large
to netboot. Y-HPC is the recommended method of getting YDL onto anything
via netboot.

This brings up another interesting question. Has anyone tried to
PXE/netboot any Xserves yet using YDL 4.1?

We have a new Xserve. The new YDL 4.1 installs just
fine on two new dual cpu G5s. Now on to the Xserve.
What is the prefered method? The Xserve is headless.
1)Buy a graphics card? Which brand?
2) take the Xserve HD out and install it in one of the
G5s?
3) There is a serial port on the Xserve and I've seen
mention of serial console. Is there a console monitor
where I can boot off network resource for installation
or local DVD/CD?
Y-HPC is the recommended method as it offers a means of building
cluster nodes, rapidly and effectively. Else, you will need to
establish a tftp/dhcp/ramdisk/rsync environment as well as set the
cluster node for headless booting.
