Subject: Re: [9fans] booting term kernel over the net
Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2002 08:59:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <21317b9382d83885fbd6edd9f9d885d7@plan9.bell-labs.com> (raw)

If you're talking about booting from kfs (rather
than a real fs, in which case IL will cause problems),
it's not hard.  You can't fetch the kernel over the
wide-area network, but that's the only problem.
If you have the kernel on a floppy and put the
auth and fs info into plan9.ini, that's enough to
get going.  I've done this for booting terminals
from a standalone kfs/auth across campus and
it worked reasonably well.
