That looks more like a problem with the configuration of tftpd-hpa, or
the DHCP response? Since there is no mention of grub2pxe at all.
I've tried kfreebsd-i386 d-i rc1 on a few thin client systems, which
have Intel UNDI PXE-2.0, with Realtek RTL 8139 or Via Rhine II onboard
NICs, and all were able to netboot the GRUB menu.
My test setup is detailed below.
/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf :
allow booting;
allow bootp;
host kfreebsd-i386 {
# Client MAC / IP
hardware ethernet xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
fixed-address 192.0.2.2;
# TFTP server / boot filename
next-server 192.0.2.1;
filename grub2pxe;
}
/etc/default/tftpd-hpa :
TFTP_OPTIONS=--secure --refuse utimeout
TFTP_USERNAME=tftp
TFTP_DIRECTORY=/var/lib/tftpboot
TFTP_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0:69
# ps ax | grep tftpd

Apparently that can simply mean 'file not found': http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.hardware.soekris.technical/17688 You may want to get a tcpdump capture of this from the TFTP server, and/or dry-run your setting of 'filename' (as in dhcpd.conf), with the command-line client, i.e.: $ tftp 192.0.2.1 tftp get grub2pxe Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

That 'error' is annoying, I think it affects Linux too and is harmless but I'm not sure why it happens. It would be nice to print Loading GRUB graphical menu... here or similar.
