It turns out I had one laying in my tftpboot dir from an earlier life that got me up and going. Both report themselves as rev 1.2 but they're about 5k different in size (now smaller). > I suppose I ought to describe that before the dhcpd.conf section, eh? > Actually, that's a good idea. I have a netboot server ready to go so I really skipped sections (even easier when it's printed 4-up on a page) that looked to be associated with that. I did stop and think about what loader to stick in there as I had a boot laying in my tftpboot but it was for NEXTSTEP and didn't really help me much. Perhaps in the Installing the NetBSD System's Introduction where you explain the process, use the word "boot" when describing the bootstrapping and have a link down to where to extract it from? In the "Post installation steps" most notably number 4 where the packages are shown as an example, the shell at that point would presumably be csh rather than sh so the env setup might confuse lo-tech folks. Nice doc though! Much better than when I first tried muttling through it some time back. Is the scsi support pretty much parked? Thanks, peter
