But having said that, I'm just about to back this change out anyway - see the follow-up email to the commit message. It seems that what I did was not only unnecessary as the kernel picks up the pxeboot(8)'ed NFS root partititon automatically without having to do the BOOTP stuff itself, but also that the only reason options BOOTP* are there is to handle loader(8)less booting... So watch that space, and apologies for not having done enough homework before committing in the first place :*/ -- Brian <brian_at_Awfulhak.org> <brian_at_[uk.]FreeBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org> <brian_at_[uk.]OpenBSD.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !Received on Thu Jul 08 2004 - 20:31:52 UTC
