Ok thanks. It would be funny if you can no longer successfully pxeboot
either :D
it's virtualbox that was no longer running ok :-(, so after spending
time compiling qt4, I managed to compile vbox so now I have:
3.1.6_OSEr59338
I just updated my ports tree and I'm now running virtualbox-ose-3.1.6_3.
My problems persist.
[snip]
I'm running vanilla pxeboot, my etherboot rom is not mine, I just compiled it
under linux (under freebsd it was imposible to compile).
Since the server is diskless, but has a few nics, I'm using a spare one for
vbox.
BTW, the 'sometime works' is now 'sometimes failes'! before, after the first
reboot,
the kernel would panic, the next reboot would hang. Now, reboot mostly
succeeds :-)
attaching a console boot,
HTH,

You're definitely doing something different with your pxeboot compared
to me. Take a look at the following screenshot of my vbox trying to
pxeboot and compare to yours:

vs
ftp://ftp.cs.huji.ac.il/users/danny/freebsd/v1.jpeg
A lot of the text after the "Starting the BTX loader" line is different
in my case to yours.
The pxeboot I'm currently using is from today's 8-STABLE, which I built
by doing a "make buildworld buildkernel" and then copying the
/usr/obj/.../sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/pxeboot binary to my tftp root dir.
Questions:
- What version of FreeBSD and arch (i386 or amd64) are you running on
the underlying vbox host?
- Can you please check your /etc/make.conf and /etc/src.conf for any
changes that might affect how the pxeboot binary gets built on your
build machine?
- Can you please put your pxeboot binary somewhere for me to download
and try?
Cheers,
Lawrence
