University of California Deptarment of Mathematics has 38 diskless workstations. Currently they all use a kernel disk which uses nfsroot to mount file systems off a central server. Basicly all of our Grad Students and Visiting Research Profs use them.
Looking for a way to get bootroms for the Intel EEPro cards -- unfortunatly the first 18 systems we bought have the non-boot-prom-socketed NetGeat 310TXs so we can't use proms on those..
This is basicly a home-brew setup, always looking for better ways to do it. One thing thats neet about this setup is that we export most of the filesystems read-only (had to hack some of the mount utils to keep from fiddling with files in/etc.)
