But how FreeBSD loader can change tftp rootpath directory for find boot path? As far as i understand it - FreeBSD loader takes rootpath from dhcp option 17 (root-path).

This blog post may help you...http://blog.hostileadmin.com/2012/05/04/pxe-booting-into-a-freebsd-installation/ In the grub2pxe Configuration section, you can see that the kernel and "initrd" (or mfsroot) images are variable-ized (if that's a word). Perhaps you could use a similar approach to accomplish the same. Obviously, in that post, Grub2pxe replaced FreeBSD's pxeboot.bs and was chained to pxelinux. -- Take care Rick Miller ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Use an interim boot loader like ISOLINUX and then chain-load. If you choose to add/configure the vesamenu.c32 boot module, then ISOLINUX can display a menu to make selecting each chain-loaded distro easier. -- Devin _ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.

PXE tftp - double boot
Hello! Tell me please, how can i boot from tftp server (throught pxe) several copies FreeBSD from different path (For example: /pxeroot/freebsd1 and /pxeroot/freebsd2)? I see variale rootpath at source sys/boot/i386/libi386/pxe.c. I compiled several pxeboot files (there i changed variable rootpath from "/" to "/pxeroot/freebsd[1-2]"), and i booted this files throught pxelinux. Booting stoped at boot kernel. -- Respectfully, Stanislav Putrya System administrator FotoStrana.Ru Ltd.
