| I remember someone (was it Spectre...?) mentioned here once that he regularly boots his Sam460 via ethernet...
Is the same possible with X5000, and how should it be done...?
If it is doable, do you need to setup some sort of 'server' in another machine? Is there the needed software available for a classic Amiga (OS 3.x)? Or for Linux?
in what format the 'boot source' should be? Can it be simply a bootable partition (SFS or FFS) prepared in a classic Amiga...?
Regards,

You can boot via TFTP. But I think this only gets the 'boot image' so has to be smallish, so for us its the Kickstart and bit of workbench. Although once this hits the s:startup-sequence you could easily mount a NAS: drive and then continue workbench loading from the remote drive _________________

With regards to Classic Amiga, Envoy was a good network filesystem, simple TCP stack and filesystem that could fit on a single ADF/Disk, and again load Workbench from the network. Although this will need a another amiga (or WinUAE) as a server.
I once made a setup with WinUAE as a Envoy host, and 2x A1200 and 1xA600 on a single disk envoy boot, which would connect to the Envoy host. (used for mass disk->add backup system) _________________

In what format this 'boot image' has to be...??? And how to create it...? (I hope not ".iso" as I cannot create a bootable one with my classic system!)
