I'm using both 5.0.3  just tried 5.0.4 and both work.  Remember that
you need to compile in the hints into the kernel.  I just verified
this netbooting FreeBSD inside vmware.

  # uname -a
  FreeBSD  5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #1: Sat Dec 29 20:24:00 GMT 2001 
ambrisko@a21p:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/NETBOOT  i386
  # mount
  192.168.254.1:/data/home/ambrisko/netboot on / (nfs)
  devfs on /dev (devfs, local)
  # swapinfo
  Device  512-blocks UsedAvail Capacity  Type
  [NFS swap]  1308160   130816 0%Interleaved
  # 

In my kernel config I have:
  #To statically compile in device wiring instead of /boot/device.hints
  hints   NETBOOT.hints #Default places to look for devices.

My NETBOOT.hints is basically a copy of GENERIC.hints.

booting -current with etherboot?

2001-12-27 Thread Nicolas Souchu 

High folks,

etherboot-5.0.3 doesn't boot my -current kernel.

I previously had to upgrade the loader because of a similar problem when
booting a -current kernel with a -stable loader.

What are exactly the differences? Etherboot boots a -stable kernel just fine.

Thanks,

nicholas
