This is my little how-to enable PXE on pfSense: - In pfSense 1.2.3-Release install the TFTP package. - remount the filesystem R/W with "mount -rw /dev/ufs/pfsense0 /" - make a folder /tftpboot/ - in the webGUI: pfSense->Services->DHCP server->Enable Network booting [checked]; enter the IP of the pfSense itself (192.168.100.1), and the filename "pxelinux.0" > > > the files are from the live-cd > > make sure not to place the filesystem.squashfs in a subfolder. > > If I had tried this, would I get a clear error ? > I did not, since I saw nothing during the boot process. > I was wrong, I just had this in mind but tested it again and it also works if it is in a subfolder. If the filesystem.squashfs is missing I get the following output: [ 6.393543] ide_generic: please use "probe_mask=0x3f" module parameter for probing all legacy ISA IDE ports BusyBox v1.15.3 (Debian 1:1.15.3-1) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) I hope this helps. What do you see? How far does it go? MIchael
