What do you guys use to bring up HVM installes inside Xen with PXE?
I am tangling with iPXE but it screws up parsing the filename and root-path options into service/host/filename parts. After fixing that for the NFS-mount case I get http://wavehh.dyndns.org/tmp/debug-xen/nfs.gif which is generally a hard to debug "broken PXE" problem. Using FreeBSD's pxeboot compiled with tftp instead of NFS I get further but root-path is still ignored. Manually placing all things into default places not requiring root-path I get http://wavehh.dyndns.org/tmp/debug-xen/nfs-error.gif "nfs_diskless: no NFS handle" According to the source code this means it doesn't have an NFS handle, specifically boot.nfsroot.nfshandle I have seen a few people post questions like this to questions@ but no answer. I assume this is a chicken-and-egg problem with not having a root-path at start of the kernel, and this message is printed before attempting to mount what I specified as root device in loader.conf. I think it's better for me to look for a working PXE so that I can use a regular NFS pxeboot, hence the question - anyone got anything working?
