3As of Feb. 11, 2002 (and indeed, for quite some time before that),
4the /etc/rc.diskless{1,2} scripts support a slightly different
5diskless boot process than the one documented in the rest of
6this file (which is 3 years old).

8I am not deleting the information below because it contains some
9useful background information on diskless operation, but for the
10actual details you should look at /etc/rc.diskless1, /etc/rc.diskless2,
11and the /usr/share/examples/diskless/clone_root script which can
12be useful to set up clients and server for diskless boot.

134 be pointed to the /conf/<full-host-name>/ directory, which is
135 different for each machine. Thus, the /conf/ME softlink
136 should never be overwritten by the templating copy.
