Hi everyone, since my last PR <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?31331> (still offline right now), I still couldn't make Grub2 boot FreeBSD. The issue from the PR was resolved the way explained in the post, thanks.
Since I am not sure this is a bug, I thought I'd ask first before opening one. Is it possible that Grub2 does not pass Networking Information to the FreeBSD-Kernel, i.e. the information it has received via DHCP / PXE ? I am booting Grub2 through PXE/TFTP and it successfully loads and and also boots the FreeBSD-Kernel, however the FreeBSD-Kernel always fails to mount root from NFS. I have tried all sort of fiddling with the FreeBSD Kernel and am pretty sure its not its fault. The FreeBSD-Kernel can be compiled with BOOTP_NFSROOT, to make it re- request root-path and server for this case, however going that way is not an option, because I cannot transmit root-path (Option 17 in dnsmasq), if I want to offer multiple Operating systems as choice. Note also that the dnsmasq-server and NFS-Server are on two machines. Thank you very much for your help, -- ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐ Best Regards, │ Free Software Foundation Europe █▉ │ Hannes Hauswedell │ German Team █▉█▉█▉ │ │ Coordinator for pdfreaders.org ▉▉ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────┘
