❏The first phase: the diskless remote node discovers its network identify and the name of the file to be booted
❏The second phase: the diskless remote node reads the boot file across the network into its memory
The various modules (capabilities) and the dependencies of these modules that support the overall network boot function are described in the following paragraphs
