Hello,
I'm trying to PXE boot 7.0-RELEASE, but it stops at a time.
At boot I see the following on the screen:
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS drive D: is disk1
PXE version 2.1, real mode entry point @9188:0106
BIOS 517kB/3406144kB available memory
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
(toor@myplace, date)
pxe_open: server addr: 10.0.0.1
pxe_open: serve path: /wwwbladebsd/
pxe_open: gateway ip: 10.0.0.1
Consoles: internal video/keybaord
BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS drive D: is diskl
BIOS 517kB/3406144kB available memory
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
(toor@myplace, date)
Can't work out which disk we are booting from.
Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaulting to disk0
can't loader 'kernel'
Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK lsdev

on the server I see t serving pxeboot via tftp, and mounting the root via N=

2:1023 for /wwwbladebsd (/wwwbladebsd) (around 30-40 from these NFS mount m=
essages in the log).
The NFS server is a linux box right now.
The dhcpd.conf:
host blade1 {
hardware ethernet 00:30:48:8d:00:36;
fixed-address 10.0.0.32;
server-name "10.0.0.1";
filename "/bsd/pxeboot";
next-server 10.0.0.1;
option root-path "/wwwbladebsd/";
}
i'm using "atftpd" with /tftpboot as root directory. /tftpboot/bsd/ is a
symlink to the root system's /boot .
I've NFS-exported /wwwbladebsd/, and that seems to work.
The question is, why loader is unable to load the kernel?
How could I force the loader to use tftp instead of NFS?
Or using any other solutions, how can I make this box boot?
If I've left out outsomething from here, please tell me, I will post it.
Thanks in advance.
