| 4 | 8.0.1: Where can I get information booting FreeBSD `diskless', that is |
| 5 | booting and running a FreeBSD box from a server rather than having |
| 6 | a local disk? |
| 7 | |
| 8 | Look in the directory /src/sys/i386/netboot for the file netboot.doc. |

| 11 | 8.0.2: I've heard that you can use a FreeBSD box as a dedicated network |
| 12 | router - is there any easy support for this? |
| 13 | |
| 14 | After a fashion, yes. There is a standard `router floppy' that you can |
| 15 | boot on a FreeBSD machine to configure it as a network router. [>>>> put |
| 16 | pointer to router floppy image here ] |

| 19 | 8.0.3: Does FreeBSD support SLIP and PPP? |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Yes. See the man pages for slattach and/or pppd if you're using FreeBSD |
| 22 | to connect to another site. If you're using FreeBSD as a server for other |
| 23 | machines, look at the man page for `sliplogin'. |
