Thanks but i dont think that is what im looking for.
What we have is this:
NO DHCP, NO TFTP services.
The fileserver is up and the cpu server is booting locally(sdC0)
all i need to do is connect the terminals and another cpu server.

I started using the "Customizing a Fileserver" description but this
has not worked.

Id rather boot both with a floppy, how do i do this, i think my ndb is
fine currently since the fileserver is connecting fine.

We seem to have a problem with out terminal setup.  Bootp times out when
we try to boot from ether0.  Do we have to compile a kernel for
this.  We're booting from a floppy trying to boot from the file server.

Thanks in advance
