Actually, it does work on a real machine. It stalls on a VirtualBox VM during
or after the NFS root mount.
Strange , I will test it on virtualbox when I get some time next week . I did a
lot of the testing initially on VMware esxi 4.0 and I did not have any issues
related to VM stuff . What version of vbox did you use ? What network interface
choice did you use in vbox ?
VirtualBox 4.1.22, FreeBSD 9-stable amd64 host. Only the "PCnet-FAST III
(Am79C973)" can pxe-boot, and only in bridged mode.
Does this nic pxe boot other versions of FreeBSD ?
I have not tried anything other than 9.x, will give 8.x a try when
possible.
Isn't there a way to make it think it has a intel em nic?
Yes, but the emulated Intel does not have a boot ROM. There are methods
to add a boot ROM, but my attempts at that were not successful and I
have not gotten back to it.
