The line mentioning running tftpd from inetd is no longer valid! Its now started via /etc/rc.d/tftpd.
this is true post 5.1, the FAQ follows the current release, which is 5.1. So, it is correct as it is now for what it is documenting. Nov 1, things change.
Which isn't to say I won't forget to fix this :) Nick.
http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#PXE You will also have to activate the tftpd(8) daemon. This is typically done through inetd(8). The standard OpenBSD install has a sample line in inetd.conf which will do nicely for you: #tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -s /tftpboot which simply needs to have the '#' character removed and send inetd(8) a -HUP signal to get it to reload /etc/inetd.conf. tftpd(8) serves files from a particular directory, in the case of this line, that directory is /tftpboot, which we will use for this example. Obviously, this directory needs to be created and populated. Typically, you will have only a few files here for PXE booting: Regards, Frans
