[leaf-user] PXEInstall and WRAP
Hi Eric, hi M Lu, Eric, thanks for the tip. According to pcengines web site my (old) BIOS should have supported etherbooot but, in fact, did not. I updated the BIOS with crossed fingers, hoping it would go OK, it did! M Lu, I did some tests and discovered that the WRAP box seems only to boot from the 1st NIC (next to the dc power connector) I had to discover it's MAC address by connecting it to my DHCP server, first serving normal addresses, and observed the connection with Ethereal. Having got the MAC address, I added the PXE section on the DHCP server, configured my TFTP server according to the LEAF docs and it all worked. I don't know another way to get the MAC, normal PCs tend to display their MAC address during PXE boot, but the Etherboot module in the WRAP does not seem to do this.

Re: [leaf-user] PXEInstall and WRAP
Thanks Bob, I will update the BIOS (latest version is 1.11, correct?) and will try PXEInstall. Probably I can get the MAC of 1st NIC by looking at the output of 'ip' command on my box as it is still running now.

Re: [leaf-user] PXEInstall and WRAP
Hi M, Why do you want to run pxeinstall on an already configured box? PXEinstall is created to initial configure a WRAP or simular system. Eric Thanks Bob, I will update the BIOS (latest version is 1.11, correct?) and will try PXEInstall.

Re: [leaf-user] PXEInstall and WRAP
Just so I know how to do it when configuring new system.In fact when I upgraded from 2.x to 3.0, I opened the case, remove the old CF and started from scratch with new CF as I am afraid that I could make mistake and the system cannot run anymore. I had to reuse the old CF a couple of times because my old madwifi configuration does not work. I still have the case wide open so I want to take advantage of this opportunity.

Re: [leaf-user] PXEInstall and WRAP
Thanks for your info, Bob and Erich, I did update to the latest BIOS v1.11. But I am too tired to try setting up the TFTP/DHCP server. I will have to leave it on the weekend. But your message is very encouranging.
