I wander if pxeboot setup for FreeBSD 7.0 is different from pxeboot with 6.2?
I did sucessfully network pxeboot setup of Freebsd 6.2 using following DHCP configuration, based mostly on this how to: http://networking.ringofsaturn.com/Unix/pxeboot.php, host host1 { hardware ethernet 00:0c:29:1f:5e:3c; fixed-address 192.168.0.114; next-server 192.168.81.131; filename "/FreeBSD/boot/pxeboot"; # option root-path "/usr/var/www/install/FreeBSD"; # NFS path which will be used as temp root partition. } where: /usr/var/www/install/FreeBSD contains FreeBSD installation files, Tftp root is set to / usr/var/www/install With Freebsd 6.2 installation files, pxeboot executes and reads root file system from network and loads kernel via NFS. An OS kernel executes and starts installation process which can be finished manually. If mfsroot contains proper install.cfg, then installation can be completely unattended. But with FreeBSD 7.0 installation files process fails somewhere after pxeboot is started. On Client screen it can be seen: Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/kernel/kernel text=0x6fd45c ... and after that, server reboots. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
