Network Bootloader using Linux ...
Hello,
I want to find out the best route for setting up a network bootloader where I can have a custom listing of programmable options. Some of the desired options include:
- Setting up a linux or windows system via the network
- Troubleshooting utilities (like Knoppix) load via the network
- Network Disk cloning utilities
I know that linux supports many types of network booting but has anyone done anything like what I am referring to?
Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Christopher Koeber

Hi, I'm new to solaris and I have a question about installing solaris 10.
Does solaris during install create a /boot partition?
And if it does, is it possible to set the bootloader on this partition or will it always be on the MBR?

NAME
networks - network name information
DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/networks is a plain ASCII file that describes known DARPA networks and symbolic names for these networks. Each line repre-
sents a network and has the following structure:
name number aliases ...
where the fields are delimited by spaces or tabs. Empty lines are ignored. The hash character (#) indicates the start of a comment: this
character, and the remaining characters up to the end of the current line, are ignored by library functions that process the file.
The field descriptions are:
name The symbolic name for the network. Network names can contain any printable characters except white-space characters or the comment
character.
number The official number for this network in numbers-and-dots notation (see inet(3)). The trailing ".0" (for the host component of the
network address) may be omitted.
aliases
Optional aliases for the network.
This file is read by the route(8) and netstat(8) utilities. Only Class A, B or C networks are supported, partitioned networks (i.e., net-
work/26 or network/28) are not supported by this facility.
FILES
/etc/networks
The networks definition file.
