Does anyone have any information or links to free utilities to do the
bootp/tftp/rarp stuff necessary to netboot machines from a Windows 2000
machine? I'm thinking specifically of a DECstation 5000/125 and the
VAXStations that I have.
I'd suggest NetBSD/i386 as net booting server. I
tried to setup a
linux to net boot my vax 3900 but failed. I forgot the reason.
Unwilling to spend more time to solve the problem, I turned to NetBSD.
Easy and straight.
vax, 9000
If you want to keep windows running i'd suggest netbsd/i386 under
vmware or virtual pc. If you don't have them then netbsd/vax under
simh I assume would work. I definatly works under vms to boot
machines it can even join a cluster.
