ABSTRACT:
A system and method of down loading, over a network, operating systems or other executable programs to a computer which does not have a boot device or other device containing the executable program. Down loading is accomplished without modification of the loadable image. The computer has a network interface which requests a minimum-boot program be transferred from a host computer on the network. The minimum-boot program, when executed, establishes a logical connection to a disk server on the network and allows the requesting computer to treat the disk server as a local boot device.
