Question
Remote boot?
Answer
Once received, a BOOTP server will not only supply the IP address to the machine, but enable booting from remote media. In this case, the Microsoft RIS server will issue a floppy disk boot image, which can then be used to fetch either a system image file, from a third party system such as Symantec Ghost or Acronis TrueImage.
