I have tried to do that but was unsuccessful. Could you describe how you got it working (what files you used to boot with, if you had to make a custom initrd, and the relevant section of dhcpd.conf). I have got the old boot-floppies to boot over the network with etherboot, but I could not actually install anything with it since once booted, the kernel had not access to the modules for the nic :-( The documentation for netbooting has always been poor in Debian. If I actually learn how to do it I might try to improve the documentation. -- Hans Ekbrand (http://sociologi.cjb.net) <hans@sociologi.cjb.net>
