Hi all,
we need to boot a pc104 based QNX system completely from a central
server. It does not have any disk or flash ram, only a boot prom for
the ethernet adapter. As far as I understand this process it works in
several steps:
- get ip address and address of TFTP server from a DHCP server via
PXE (which is in the boot prom) - get boot loader from TFTP server
- boot loader creates RAM disk …
- … and gets OS image from TFTP server and puts it to RAM disk
(limited to about 600k AFAIK) - run OS which gets then applications from TFTP server and starts
them
My questions now: is this right and can I do it with QNX? Are there
any other (better) ways?
Thanks in advance for your help.
