[comp.unix.ultrix] booting diskless decstation from non-DEC machine

robm@ataraxia.Berkeley.EDU (Rob McNicholas) (04/24/91)

Can anyone point me to a reference on how ULTRIX handles diskless
machines?

I'm investigating whether we can boot our decstations off of our
Auspex fileserver instead of another decstation.  It seems to me that
DECnet is involved at some point to load the boot image, so I imagine
that I can't do what I want to do.  But I'd still like learn some more
about how this works.

Thanks for any pointers,

-Rob
