After my post I've discovered that and I get a new pxeboot binary, from the web ,named pxeboot.tftp. I think this can be done in my system using the source code on /usr/src/sys/boot. Now, the loader already "says something", but he stop when he tries to load the kernel. I think that the problem is that the loader(8) tries to get the kernel using NFS by default. I can change this using the "LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT" facility, but I don't know how... I'm sorry if I'm saying something inconsistent, but I'm trying to expertise my knowlege on FreeBSD and other *BSD variants. thanks again. Pedro PS - Chuck,Yes its a net4501 and I'll take a look on "theWall" project. thanks On 21-Aug-2001 Chuck TheMascot wrote: > At the point your boot hangs pxeloader should be trying to read > /pxeroot/boot/loader.rc using NFS.
