OpenBSD pxeboot doesn't do NFS, only tftp. It's easily-configured and normally very effective. switching console to com0 >> OpenBSD/i386 PXEBOOT 2.02 booting tftp:bsd.rd: | booting tftp:bsd.rd: 4733076read text: Unknown error: code 60 failed(60). will try /bsd ...it has loaded most of the file, but fails somewhere near the end. Adam can you successfully get this file using tftp(1) on another machine? Just to double-check, did you note what I said about duplex settings? (No offense meant if you did). If the switch and the installed OS are forced to full-duplex, things would work OK for the installed OS, but you might expect to have some problems if pxeboot auto-detects the duplex setting but the switch is forced. For the upgrade you could just skip pxebooting and copy bsd.rd into / on the running system, then choose it at the boot loader, but it's strange that it should be failing like this. It should just work. I haven't tried with FreeBSD as a tftp server but PXE is my normal way to install OpenBSD, even on normal PCs, and I've not seen this happen before (between temporary installations for testing, permanent installations, and upgrades, I've done this quite often). _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
