So when my terminals DHCP they get their kernel from the auth server. auth gets its own kernel from its local disk but boots with a grungy bootargs line like: il -g 192.168.123.254 ether /net/ether0 192.168.123.98 255.255.255.0 0 \ 192.168.123.99 192.168.123.98 where .98 is auth and .99 is the FS so auth gets its filesystem from the FS. Auth still has a full filesystem on its disk just in case FS goes away. My core cpu server boots via a floppy into dhcp and gets its kernel from auth, but doesn't run dhcp itself by using a switch in cpurc. --eric
