1332.0. "Booting PC via FDDI and DEFEA controller: possible?" by JGODCL::CLEEUW () Mon May 09 1994 04:01

    Has anybody any experience in booting a PC via an FDDI line and a DEFEA
    controller ? (DEFEA = FDDI to EISA adapter for a PC).
    Question is if this would be possible or if there are any limitations
    in preventing this.
    Thanks - Cees

    If you mean remote boot, then the answer is "unsupported".  We have
    considered investigating remote boot support in the DEFEA, but if it
    happens, it will happen after we add driver support and ship the
    upcoming FDDI PCI adapter (DEFPA).

    re:1
    Larry, yes remote boot is the subject here.
    Any idea when this driver support for the DEFPA will become availalble
    and if it can be aplied to the DEFEA aswell ?
    Regards and thanks - Cees.

    Cees,
    
    You'll want to check with the product manager, George Nielsen
    (DELNI::G_NIELSEN) for futures.  What kind of remote boot were you
    looking for (MOP, RPL, BOOTP) under what O/S (OpenVMS, PATHWORKS,
    NetWare)?
