Yes!   I'm totally new to this.   I have never setup a boot server before
and I'm kind of itchin' to play with my old SGI Indy.

I've been doing some reading and it looks like I have to configure DHCP,
tftp and NFS services on my Mac68k.  I've already enabled tftp and bootp by
uncommenting the appropriate lines in etc/inetd.conf.

I have created a /tftpboot folder in / and copied an sgimips kernel to
/tftpboot.

I have installed the sgimips base.tgz and etc.tgz binary sets in the
/home/indy/root folder.  I also did sh MAKEDEV all in my /home/indy/root/dev
folder.

I've tested my tftp server by connecting to it from another BSD machine and
that is working just fine.

There's nothing left to do but configure dhcp and nfs.  Once that's done, I
just have to cross my fingers and press the button...

I'll keep you posted.

Regards,

William


ps. If anyone has any tips and/or shortcuts, I'd love to hear them.
