Hi Erik, Thanks for getting back to me. The original problem is the same issue...we are still working it, but we've isolated the configuration where the issue manifests itself. It has to do with the FreeBSD pxeboot and Brocade switches. We will continue troubleshooting in our lab. When we've identified a fix/workaround I will be sure to follow up here.
