So I recomend you reading last mails of mine in freebsd-hackers...
Hope it helps,
Bye!
For what it's worth - I've resolved the issue I had (which was basically
the system booted, but failed trying to re-mount root as RW, and hence
wouldn't go into the installer).
The fix I did was to change the '/etc/fstab' on the Netboot server (i.e.
the copy of FreeBSD that you're booting).
It contains:
"
/dev/iso9660/FREEBSD_INSTALL / cd9660 ro 0 0
"
Just commenting out that line, i.e.
"
#/dev/iso9660/FREEBSD_INSTALL / cd9660 ro 0 0
"
Means the boot now completes, and I get offered the "Install / Shell / Live
CD" prompt, instead of an error about not being able to remount root.
I've yet to complete an install this way (so far we're just using a script
to extract the new 9.x style '.txz' files).
But that little change does let us netboot correctly now, enough for what
we need.
