Ah, you are right! It is indeed the RAMDISK for OpenBSD 5.2... I was using symlinks on my TFTP server to point to the latest version of OpenBSD but it looks like that somehow, although I changed the symlink to the latest version (5.2 directory) TFTP was still serving the old symbolink link to the old 5.1 directory. Really weird but at least now I know.
Thanks for the help! ________________________________ From: Nick Holland <n...@holland-consulting.net> To: misc@openbsd.org Sent: Sunday, December 9, 2012 7:20 PM Subject: Re: Installing 5.2 with PXE On 12/09/12 11:17, ML mail wrote: > Hi, > > I want to install OpenBSD 5.2 amd64 with PXE so I downloaded the > latest bsd.rd and pxeboot file from: > > ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.2/amd64/ > > and put it on my TFTP/DHCP server but when I boot this specific files > I get the installer for OpenBSD 5.1 and not 5.2. Is this intentional? Not even unintentional. > or am I doing something wrong here? yeah, you are doing something wrong. The files your TFTP server is serving is not the files you think you downloaded. To prove it to yourself, assuming your TFTP server is the same platform you are trying to install, do a "config -ef bsd.rd", it will show you the header of the file you think you are making available. If that says "5.1", you didn't download what you think you did. If it says 5.2, you aren't serving what you think you are serving (i.e., your tftp server isn't configured like you think it is).
