Trying to set up a server for several diskless clients I had no luck.
Where to find good stuff for further readings on how to set up FBSD
as the server for diskless clients? Especially how to configure the
kernel of the diskless client, how to swap over network etc. I already
set up a system but it fails with the error: Unable to get SWAP NFS/MOUNT
ports. What do that mean? 

Best wishes and thanks in advance

O. Hartmann
