Average aly activities: instead of using mac os x server like a normal person, i network booted Mac OS 9 using kea dhcpd and Windows 2000 Datacenter Server actually hosting the files via TFTP and AFP. hell yeah

screenshot of windows 2000, showing a file called "macrom" in the root of the RemoteInstall folder. another window shows a folder with some img files in it. last, a list of network shares showing a share called netbootv1 being a macintosh share

openfirmware on a ibook g3 shown downloading a file called macrom

PXE booting is cool i love booting stuff using only a slow ass ripoff of FTP that uses UDP and praying the DHCP server hands out the right boot filename

i filed an issue about this and a bit ago the maintainers said it was probably a problem with upstream

it seems to have gotten slightly better recently, instead of having to fully resinstall like EVERY DAY now its just unpatch and repatch
