installing on F40/E30

Hi people,

I'm trying to install NetBSD on both a F40 (7025) and an E30 (7024), using 
netbooting. For now, I can get them to download anything from the tftp 
server, so I guess there is little missing between me and an install (at 
least, I hope so). 

The E30 had a defective ethernet, which I replaced for the one on the F40 and 
now both machines can get to the tftp point. 

I don't have a serial cable, although I'm trying to acquire one (nobody has 
one anymore, I'll probably have one made in an electronics shop). 

My questions are:
 
 * Which image should I serve to them on the tftp server?
 * Must I provide a nfs root? 
 * Should my S3 Virge graphics card work on console mode (at least), or do I 
really need a serial console?
 
Just as a note, I had to manually add the MAC to my server's arp table or it 
would timeout before finishing the tftp.

Please forgive me if any of the questions have been answered before, I did 
some searching and couldn't get good answers.


Thanks in advance,

Mauricio
