In message <200011041759.eA4HxWv67962@zibbi.icomtek.csir.co.za>you write: } [...] }The option-128 confuse the pxeboot program. If I put } }option root-path "/export/diskless"; }option option-128 "10.1.2.3:/export/shark"; } }in the dhcpd.conf file, pxeboot tries to mount /export/sharkM-^[^B-i=FF }as the root filesystem. Removing the option-128 line at least get me to }boot albeit without swap. } the way I see it, there at least 2 'calls' to dhcpd. 1- by the PXE/UNDI stuff in the romboot. which needs the PXEClient stuff, and gets very confused with root/swap server. specialy if the dhcpd/tftpd/root/swap servers are not the same hosts. 2- by the freebsd-bootp, which IMHO does not need the PXEClient and could use something like FreeBSDc, to get the 'correct' values. i know this sounds confusing, (even to me :-), but I think I can come up with some working examples soon. btw, the secret is in libstand/bootp.c and src/sys/nfs/bootp_subr.c danny To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
