Hello Andrey,
per the docs [http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Network]
I first tried:
* grub-mkimage --format=i386-pc-pxe --output=grub.pxe
--prefix='(pxe)/grub' pxe pxecmd
Trial and error led me to make the following changes to that:
- removed pxecmd: module is not in 2.00, but was in older versions
- removed (pxe) from prefix
Your suggestion leads me to some side-questions:
1. Does grub-mkimage include transitive, or even simple, dependencies
specified in moddep.lst for modules listed on it's command line?
2. If it doesn't, which modules *are* packaged by default?
Also, in moddep.lst, there are a number of dependencies shown for
'pxe'.. including 'net', but not including 'tftp'.
Anyway, all that leads me to my current (possibly overkill) usage:
* grub-mkimage --format=i386-pc-pxe --output=grub.pxe --prefix='/grub'
boot priority_queue datetime bufio net tftp pxe
and I do get further. Thank you.
Alas, not all is well. I now get "error: timeout reading
'/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod'".
Sigh.

Greetings list,
I'm trying to use grub2 v 2.00
to facilitate booting FreeBSD 9.1
from a PXE server.
I've configured my DHCP services, and the PXE client is pulling
"grub.pxe" file from the server and running that just fine. It fails
immediately.
My boot screen looks like this:
*****************
* CLIENT MAC ADDR: .... GUID: ...
* CLIENT IP: 192.168.0.15 MASK: 255.255.255.0 DHCP IP: 192.168.0.1
* GATEWAY IP: 192.168.0.1
* Welcome to GRUB!
*
* error: disk `tftp,192.168.0.1` not found
* Entering rescue mode...
* grub_rescue> set
* net_default_server=
* net_pxe_boot_file=grub/grub.pxe
* net_pxe_ip=192.168.0.15
* net_pxe_max=...
* prefix=(tftp,192.168.0.1)/grub
* pxe_default_server=
* root=tftp,192.168.0.1
* grub_rescue> insmod normal
* error: disk `tftp,192.168.0.1` not found
How did you build grub.pxe? Does it include "net" and "tftp" modules?
* grub_rescue>
*****************
Things work just fine with the same system hardware using grub2 v 1.99.
Any ideas on what's wrong at this point, and how I can fix it?
