Diskless X Server: a how to guide

# 3 Determine which program to run (On the diskless system)

If you know the chipset that your Ethernet adapter uses, this is easy. If you have the NS8390 chipset, or a NS8390 based chipset, use `nb8390.com`. If you have a 3Com® 509 based chipset, use the `nb3C509.com` boot program. If you are not sure which you have, try using one, if it says “`No adapter found`”, try the other. Beyond that, you are pretty much on your own.
