3.5.6 Peer Boot Summary
In this scenario, we had an existing Flash-card-enabled IBM Network Station
that we used to serve the kernel and executable modules to another locally
attached (for example, on the same LAN) IBM Network Station.
First, we changed the
flash.nsm file to enable NFS and peer boot support.
Subsequently, we built a new file, called
peer.nsm, which contained the
necessary parameters to redirect the peer booting Network Station to the
correct target to find the files.
We reset the peer boot Network Stations NVRAM and entered new data in
NVRAM to force it to look on the Flash card in the serving Network Station for
boot code.
