Where can I find this? I've looked in
"/syssrc/sys/arch/i386/stand/pxeboot" via the CVSWeb interface on
http://www.de.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/syssrc/sys/arch/i386/stand/pxeboot/?cvsroot=netbsd
BTW, the main CVSWeb server wasn't responding when just now when I went
looking for pxeboot.
Should I be looking somewhere else?
thanks
