I found pxeboot in /boot on my 4.4r system and after
the config file for ISC DHCPDv3 is in place and DHCPD
is started things work great. I needed to make sure
the /tftpboot/boot/loader.rc existed and that I copied
my diskless kernel to /tftpboot/kernel.
Thanks for your suggestions.

RE: pxe booting problem
I looked in /boot on my 4.4R system and there was a 'pxeboot' file there. I've since modded my ISCv3 DHCPD.conf file to serve this file out to machines (after creating /tftpboot/boot/loader.rc) and it works great. Next step will be to test getting this to work using reservations from the MS DHCP server on our LAN (pretty sure this will work) and people will be able to boot diskless FreeBSD by pressing F12 at boot up.

Forget this part. This is the content my /path/to/FreeBSD/CDROM : - The entire content of the original CDROM - A custom mfsroot with install.cfg - A custom kernel with 'options MD_ROOT' - A directory called 'boot' with the following files (from /boot): boot1 boot2 loader loader.rc Henri To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

Perhaps you only have a subset? I also moved my obdir out of the way (mv /usr/obj /usr/obj.tmp) and did a "make clean" before "make". good luck, -Alfred To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

You can find pxeboot (instead of pxeldr) if /boot.
Just copy it into /tftpboot, and add the following in the dhcpd config file
(for isc-dhcp version 3):
option space PXE;
option PXE.mtftp-ipcode 1 = ip-address;
option PXE.mtftp-cport code 2 = unsigned integer 16;
option PXE.mtftp-sport code 3 = unsigned integer 16;
option PXE.mtftp-tmout code 4 = unsigned integer 8;
option PXE.mtftp-delay code 5 = unsigned integer 8;
class "pxeclients" {
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) =
"PXEClient";
option vendor-class-identifier "PXEClient";
option PXE.mtftp-ip 0.0.0.0;
vendor-option-space PXE;
next-server X.X.X.X;
server-name "X.X.X.X";
server-identifier X.X.X.X;
option root-path "/path/to/FreeBSD/CDROM";
filename "pxeboot";
}
where X.X.X.X is the IP address of the tftp boot server.
