I have my first SMP amd64 box at the office now to work with, and thought it
was all going to be easy. Sadly not, or at least, not yet. :-)
I configured dhcpd, tftpd, and nfs to export the 6.1 install CD from my
notebook. All good so far. The problem is as follows: if I insert the 6.1
i386 release CD, it all works great. If I insert the amd64 CD, then I get the
following after pxeboot has been going for a bit:

Can't work out which disk we are booting from.Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaulting to
disk0:
can't load 'kernel'
At that point, lsdev shows the disk devices, but not the pxeboot "disk", which
leaves me without a kernel, etc. So something is different between the i386
and amd64 disks, or maybe there's a problem with my BIOS. I was wondering if
anyone else had set up a similar configuration and had it work?
