Failing that, if your computer supports PXE, you 15can prepare a server to start the install across the network, but you will 16still need the install sets available on one of the above media types. 17 18OpenBSDXferFloppyFromDOS 19 20OpenBSDXferFloppyFromUNIX 21 22Creating a PXE network bootable setup using OpenBSD or other Un*x-like system: 23 24 In order to start the install via PXE, you will need to set up a 25 DHCP server and a TFTP server. The details of how to do this 26 vary considerably, depending on the network's host. You should 27 refer to the relevant man pages or administrator's guide for the 28 host system. 29 30 The DHCP server should return "pxeboot" to MACHINE clients as the 31 network boot program. Both pxeboot and the bsd.rd install kernel 32 should be copied to the TFTP server's root directory. 33 34 If you are using an OpenBSD server, you can use the supplied 35 dhcpd and tftpd. A sample configuration for dhcpd is given in 36 the pxeboot(8) man page. You can get it from the man{:--:}OSrev.tgz 37 distribution set, or see the copy on the OpenBSD web page. You 38 should also refer to dhcpd(8) and tftpd(8) for more information 39 on configuring them. 40 41 42OpenBSDXferShortPrelude 43 44OpenBSDXferBareTape(xbase xetc xfont xserv xshare) 45 46dnl OpenBSDXferNFS 47dnl 48OpenBSDXferFFS 49
