This is for helping you when you have a system on the HD but the HD is no longer bootable. > Can I use sysinst to install on this? Yes.

Maybe I shold write some HOWTO / FAQ for the port-prep web page. Netbooting is the usual bootp / DHCP and tftp game. The image that the machine expects is identical to a floppy image. I.e. set up dhcpd(8) to supply boot options to the machine and then give it sysinst.fs via tftpd(8). -- tschüß, Jochen Homepage: http://www.unixag-kl.fh-kl.de/~jkunz/
