It seams my english lacks some importent parts to explain the issue int he
right way. I appologize but you could have guessed it propably.

The problem is the hardcoded \Boot\BCD in the BCD-File itself.
And on OpenBSD I find no way to make a rewrite rule like on tftp-hpa (if I
am not wrong) where you can create a file called "tftpd.remap" and insert
a "gr // \" and that solves it. During the boot the bootcode of vistape
looks for \Boot\BCD and claims it's not avaiable.

To ensure I did not fucked up something I used 3 different Howtos (well
all the same but differen sources) and created the PE serval times wich
was even checked by other people here (and it boots on Linux btw..)

So in case you use VistaPE with OpenBSD as dhcpd and tftpd it would be
pretty nice to tell me how you solved it. The problem eppears just with
Vista but will remain because the BCD-Code gets used in all further
Versions of Windows.

I strongly suspect the tftpd-Server as being responseable but as I said I
did not find anything about the paths and if it may even rewrites itself.
And googling for tftp openbsd just brings you tons of linux tftpds wich
all claim to be derivated work of the openbsd tftp-server+addons.

So hopefully I explaied myself in the right way now.

Kind regards,
Sebastian
