Right, this is driving me absolutely nuts! I have had a Soekris net4801 (266Mhz model) for some time now, a couple of years ago I very easily used PXE to install Open BSD 3.7 on it from FreeBSD 5 (or maybe 6, I forget), anyways I documented the whole process at the time and decided today to update my net4801 to the latest OpenBSD (4.2).
I cant for the life of me get the net4801 to boot OpenBSD 4.2 using PXE. My host machine is a FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE with the ISC DHCPD version 3 port installed, I have setup dhcpd and tftpd, in /tftpboot on my FreeBSD machine I have bsd.rd and pxeboot from OpenBSD 4.2. The console output over COM0 from the net4801 is below, but basically I have no idea what "Unknown error: code 60" (from pxeboot?) means? I then also updated the net4801 bios to 1.31 and tried again, but it made no difference. Im sure this should be really easy (as it was the first time), what am I doing wrong here please? comBIOS ver. 1.28 20050529 Copyright (C) 2000-2005 Soekris Engineering. net4801 0128 Mbyte Memory CPU Geode 266 Mhz Pri Sla SAMSUNG CF/ATA LBA Xlt 1012-32-63 1020 Mbyte Slot Vend Dev ClassRev Cmd Stat CL LT HT Base1 Base2 Int ------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00:0 1078 0001 06000000 0107 0280 00 00 00 00000000 00000000 0:06:0 100B 0020 02000000 0107 0290 00 3F 00 0000E101 A0000000 10 0:07:0 100B 0020 02000000 0107 0290 00 3F 00 0000E201 A0001000 10 0:08:0 100B 0020 02000000 0107 0290 00 3F 00 0000E301 A0002000 10 0:18:2 100B 0502 01018001 0005 0280 00 00 00 00000000 00000000 0:19:0 0E11 A0F8 0C031008 0117 0280 08 38 00 A0003000 00000000 11 5 Seconds to automatic boot.
