Hello,I am trying to jumpstart install an IBM x336 server with a intel Pro100 nic with freebsd 6.2. I have successfully done this install with freebsd 5.3 and 6.0 on the same machine. The sysinstall boot menu comes up from PXE. But when I put in the NFS path to the files, it won't mount. My mount point is 192.168.1.50:/tftpboot/freebsd6.2/ I can mount this nfs mount point from another client, but not from the jumpstart/sysinstall menu. Any suggestions? Another oddity is that I noticed is when setting up the NIC, it does not get an ip address. It seems to have a network issue, the network works on startup with the network/pxe boot. It gets its ip, boots to the sysinstall menu.Has anyone else jumpstarted 6.2 succesfully?
The information above is not enough for anyone to help you: - what have you in your dhcpd.conf? - does the kernel you boot support nfs? - did you compile your kernel for the pxe client with bootp?If you have a network issue, then that may also explain why you can't mount. Does the kernel support the nic you have?
Anyway, for jumpstart install I think it is much simpler to install via ftp rather than messing around with nfs. I haven't tried 6.2, only 6.1, and I haven't seen any changes since 6.1 that should affect jumpstart
