Re: BSDInstaller Plugin

G'day,

Markus I'm also working on building a FreeBSD server which diskless 
clients can PXE-Boot to, but I'm having no luck, here are all my notes:

You might find some clues, but then again you might find I'm doing 
something wrong. If you can give me any pointers please do. I think what 
your doing is great.

When your finished will you be able to select install to hard drive from 
the live cd? And will it be all configured for a PXE-Boot server?
