The target system loads pxeboot.bs and consequently requests the following files: /boot/boot.4th (which it does not find) /boot/loader.rc /boot/loader.4th /boot/support.4th /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/device.hints /boot/loader.conf It is at this point where the failure occurs. The contents of loader.conf = are: mfsroot_load=3D"YES" mfsroot_type=3D"mfs_root" mfsroot_name=3D"/boot/mfsroot" Does this seem consistent with what you were theorizing that it's the kernel that has the problem with vlan tagging and not pxeboot.bs? --=20 Take care Rick Miller
