I've been experiencing a problem getting a soekris to pxe boot properly.
I've tried this with both RELENG_4_8 and RELENG_4 and it still gives
me the same problem. I've read and re-read the diskless operation, nfs,
and freebsd booting process sections in the handbook, as well as tried
to read and understand both the rc.diskless[12] scripts and the
clone_root script.
I'm exporting /tmp on the dhcp server since that was the only way I
could get the -alldirs option to work, though in retrospect, I don't
seem to need it. I've used both the clone_root method to create a
proper root to export, as well as using the method described in jail(8).
The soekris is able to pxe boot off of the server, but it always hangs
in the same spot. Does anyone have any idea what I should be looking
at? Here is my configuration. For the sake of space, I didn't include
the entire configuration files, only what I believe is pertinent. If I
should provide any more info, I'm welcome to suggestions.
