i load the cpu/auth server kernel from diskette.
there isn't a straightforward way of loading from the file server.
the boot programs don't know 9P (and thus can't attach as none,
nor is it necessarily a good idea to allow attach as none),
and the file server certainly doesn't know dhcp/bootp/tftpd.

Hello,

I have a small site with one File server and one CPU/Auth server.
How can I boot the CPU server from the file server ?
do I have to use another machine that will be a DHCP server ?
In that case, how do I boot the DHCP server from the file server ?

David.
