Subject: [9fans] PXE
Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 19:13:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030916191304.H9751@cackle.proxima.alt.za> (raw)

I now have a VXL Precio diskless workstation that I would like to run
Plan 9 on.  I can convince it to use PXE to boot, but I don't know
quite what's involved to make it work properly.

Right now, it looks like it doesn't even register a DHCP requests, but
I really don't know enough about PXE (in fact, I think I know
precisely nothing about PXE) to judge.

What seems I ought to know, anyway, is how I can tuck a plan9.ini
somewhere for 9pxeload to find it, if I can get PXE to load it, of
course.

Is anyone preapred to give me a crash course on PXE for Plan 9?  Or
point me to relevant documentation?
