So, after tons of research and trial and error, I was finally able to netboot the bsd kernel served from a VM running OpenBSD. I have configured "/etc/dnsmasq", "/etc/ethers", "/etc/hosts", and "/etc/exports" and "/etc/bootparams". The PXE boot in UEFI boot is able to contact the tftp/dhcp server and download the bsd kernel and boot up However, just before (or while) mounting nfs shares as root I get the RPC timeout error.
``` nfs_boot: using interface bse0 with revarp & bootparams RPC timeout for server 192.168.0.255 ``` In an old post ( https://www.mail-archive.com/search?l=misc@openbsd.org&q=subject:%22Trying+to+set+diskless%5C%288%5C%29+%5C-%5C-+hanging+in+%5C%22RPC+timeout+for+server%5C%22%22&o=newest&f=1), someone mentioned that in some old post that had similar issue and it was related to broadcast address not being captured by bootparamd. My netboot server is on a network bridge. Could that be an issue? I am not totally familiar with ins-and-outs of networking for these protocols so am little lost. How to go about debugging this? Has any come across this issue or can help, would be great. Thanks -S
