First thing to do (well after it gets moved out of the living room) is to get it
configured
and up on my home network. I want to net boot it (just in case the disks fail) and
save everything onto my server.
Is it actually possible to netboot from something other than another 'bolix machine?
I know there are a couple of experimental Chaosnet implementations out there but I've
never played with one of these. (Also, I was under the impression that netbooting still
required a local disk to store the FEP files & netboot world).
I'm not sure. Right now, I'm trying to familiarize myself with it. That could be
true.
My biggest thing right now is to get the "site" configuration done and get this
on my home network.
Anyone have a simple "cookbook" set of instructions to get started with? Right
now I'm trying to figure
out how to dig out the ethernet MAC address so I can add it to my DHCP configuration.
At any rate let me also congratulate you on the acquisition of a fine machine. I have a
3630 and it's a seriously impressive hardware + software combination.
Yes, it's seriously cool.
