Control: tags -1 + moreinfo unreproducible Hi Michael,
Please explain what your setup is, any relevant DHCP config, the TFTP daemon being used and what sort of client (real hardware with PXE-capable NIC?). A screenshot (or even a photo?) of the error message could be very helpful. > Michael Tsang <mikl...@gmail.com> (09/12/2012): >> I cannot boot the installer from pxe. GRUB says prefix is not set >> and dies. It seems to be a configuration bug. I don't see a problem under Qemu (with iPXE). But this works a little differently to pxelinux and this needs to be documented better. For kfreebsd-amd64 netboot-9, the prefix seems to be hardcoded to "(pxe)/debian-installer/kfreebsd-amd64/", so as long as I do this: $ tar -zxvf netboot.tar.gz ./ ./debian-installer/ ./debian-installer/kfreebsd-amd64/ ./debian-installer/kfreebsd-amd64/initrd.gz ./debian-installer/kfreebsd-amd64/kfreebsd-9.gz ./debian-installer/kfreebsd-amd64/grub.cfg ./debian-installer/kfreebsd-amd64/font.pf2 ./debian-installer/kfreebsd-amd64/splash.png ./debian-installer/kfreebsd-amd64/grub2pxe ./grub2pxe ./version.info $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256 -enable-kvm -net nic -net user,bootfile=grub2pxe,tftp=. GRUB shows me the full graphical menu (grub.cfg and Wheezy splash artwork are loaded from the TFTP server). Then I hit a different bug though - it assumes the kernel name is kfreebsd.gz but for netboot-9 installs this should be kfreebsd-9.gz I wonder if the 'prefix is not set' error is to do with DHCP options. Jeff Epler also mentions: > On the server side, "tftpd 0.17-17ubuntu1" doesn't seem to work, while > "tftpd-hpa 5.0-11ubuntu2" does. The symptom is that grub can't find grub.cfg.
