Re: PXE booting 7.0-R
Hi
try using this lines in your /usr/local/etc/dhcpd.conf instead of yours :
subnet [your subnet IP] netmask [your netmask] {
range [start range] [finish range];
next-server [your PXE server IP];
filename pxeboot;
option root-path [your Root server IP (if you mount your server root its
obvious that your server IP)]:/;
}
and you should make change in your /etc/inetd.conf and comment out this line :
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/tftpd tftpd -l -s /tftpboot/
place your pxeboot and loader in /tftpboot/ and reboot your system
it should solve your problem
but if you want to use tftp instead of nfs you should make your pxeboot and
loader using tftp enable to do this you can read this article :
http://www.ultradesic.com/index.php?section=72
but there is a mistake in this article :
after you make new files are place here :
pxeboot : /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/
loader : /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/
and you should export / and all its directory for successful loading . for more
information you can read this article too.

I hope you make it

Hello,
I'm trying to PXE boot 7.0-RELEASE, but it stops at a time.
At boot I see the following on the screen:

on the server I see t serving pxeboot via tftp, and mounting the root via NFS:

Jun 6 11:38:25 nfs mountd[2120]: authenticated mount request from
10.0.0.32:1023 for /wwwbladebsd (/wwwbladebsd) (around 30-40 from these NFS
mount messages in the log).
The NFS server is a linux box right now.
The dhcpd.conf:
host blade1 {
hardware ethernet 00:30:48:8d:00:36;
fixed-address 10.0.0.32;
server-name 10.0.0.1;
filename /bsd/pxeboot;
next-server 10.0.0.1;
option root-path /wwwbladebsd/;
}
i'm using atftpd with /tftpboot as root directory. /tftpboot/bsd/ is a
symlink to the root system's /boot .
I've NFS-exported /wwwbladebsd/, and that seems to work.
The question is, why loader is unable to load the kernel?
How could I force the loader to use tftp instead of NFS?
Or using any other solutions, how can I make this box boot?
If I've left out outsomething from here, please tell me, I will post it.
Thanks in advance.

Re: PXE booting 7.0-R
hi again
you said you use freebsd 7.0 so I told you to do these in freebsd ( that you
install dhcp on it!!! to the end I call it pxeserver) not on your Linux
Server(and to the end I call your server that you want to boot from and mount
its / FileServer)!!!
your dhcpd.conf is :
host blade1 {
hardware ethernet 00:30:48:8d:00:36;
fixed-address 10.0.0.32;
server-name 10.0.0.1;
I dont use it and nothing happend
filename /bsd/pxeboot;
you should place pxeboot where you specify as root-path and write here pxeboot
next-server 10.0.0.1;
option root-path /wwwbladebsd/;
you should specify your root-path as follow : [FileServer IP]:/
I use / because I couldn`t use any path and admonish you not to try anywhere
else because it doesn`t work!!!
}
after these you should edit inetd in your pxeserver (freebsd)
and you should make your pxeboot again if you want to use tftp that briefly
explain in that article
please do above steps exactly and I hope you make it !!!
these are my 3 months of working on freebsd for pxeboot

Yes, I was exactly using these options.

tftpd -l -s /tftpboot/ place your pxeboot and loader in /tftpboot/

Sorry, but you've failed here.
1) I stated the NFS(also tftp) server is Linux, and I'm not using it
from inetd.
2) I wasn't asking how are _you_ doing it, the question was, what's
wrong with my setup. (After I know what's wrong I can fix it myself,
thanks)
3) I've read articles, manuals, etc. I have a problem with it, it's not
working as it's supposed to.
Anyways, thanks for your efforts.
but if you want to use tftp instead of nfs you should make your
pxeboot and loader using tftp enable to do this you can read this
