Along the same lines....hm I have 3 binary licenses for 386IX and
wd ethernet cards with the boot prom.... any reasons I could
load all 3 kernels from 1 machines files system??? as long as a server
was up and running??? the machines are all 386 MB(dataexpert 20mhz 8mb)
Its seems to me that the kernels to be downloaded would have to be loaded
by a more extensive boot prom than the WD boot prom??? has any one tried this
??

      cheers
      kelly
p.s. I am diving into the cool waters of ethernet and NFS for the first time
so please be gentle with the flames ... thanx in advance!!!
