Hi!
I am using freebsd in a diskless configuration with etherboot as the 
bootloader.
Now I want to use this setting in a newly bought PC, but it does not boot.

I'm using the same kernel as in my working system and the ethernet nic is 
the same.

A major problem for me is that I cannot see when/where my kernel fails.
I can see etherboot dowloading the image, but then after a few secs the 
system reboots. No printouts on the screen :-(

On my old computer the there are no printouts either. But after a while 
the login prompt appears :-) 

Is the lack of printouts a problem with etherboot config? Or is this some 
kernel config setting?

Mats
