The target system loads pxeboot.bs and consequently requests the following files: /boot/boot.4th (which it does not find) /boot/loader.rc /boot/loader.4th /boot/support.4th /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/device.hints /boot/loader.conf It is at this point where the failure occurs. The contents of loader.conf are: mfsroot_load="YES" mfsroot_type="mfs_root" mfsroot_name="/boot/mfsroot" Does this seem consistent with what you were theorizing that it's the kernel that has the problem with vlan tagging and not pxeboot.bs? -- Take care Rick Miller _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
