In a /etc/ethers file like:

ethernetaddress hostname

You should see the ethernet address when it boots up?

Hi,
 I am trying to set up an install =
client on my install/boot server. The first
 thing that I know that is needed is =
an entry defining the client to be
 installed including the following =
information, host IP address, and ethernet
 address. My first question is how can =
a system have a hostname/IP address if
 it is OSless? My other question, what =
is the format this entry should be in,
 in the /etc/hosts file? (I think it =
should be in the hosts file?) I dont
 know where to put an ethernet =
address....
