Quick and dirty guide to diskless workstations
dhcpd and nfs on the server everytime your server boots. This can usually be
added into the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file (for redhat)
NOTE on sharing files with server
---------------------------------
If you would like to share the binaries or other library files with the server,
add the following entry into the /tftpboot/192.168.0.100/etc/fstab (while at
the server). Note that the "server" in this example has IP address of
192.168.0.1. You should change it to reflect the IP address of your server.
192.168.0.1:/bin /bin nfs
192.168.0.1:/sbin /sbin nfs
192.168.0.1:/usr /usr nfs
192.168.0.1:/lib /lib nfs
Reboot the diskless node. At the bash prompt, type
# mount -av
The contents of the server will now be available on your diskless node.
You can add the "mount -av" into your rc.sysinit.
