Oh hi.
How does the process differ if say, I have an i386 FreeBSD tftpd server and want to install FreeBSD sparc64 on my Sun Ultra 5? Hmm?
What file should I place in /tftpboot ?
Thanks.
nope
doesn't matter what OS the tftpd server is running. wouldn't matter if it was Windows, Mac, Linux, whatever - tftpd is tftpd. also, pls to be signing your comments. =) --Jimbo 22:07, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
md
Why this whole mess with md? bsdtar extracts iso-9660 just fine (GNU tar doesn't, but the md stuff looks highly BSD specific anyway)...
Wouldn't this work as well?
mkdir /usr/local/pxeboot (bsd)tar xvf FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso -C /usr/local/pxeboot
