Re: Freebsd pxeboot problem
Hi, 10.0.0.10 is my dhcp server and 10.0.0.24 is the dynamic ip offered by the dhcp server. Below is the DHCP debug output DHCPDISCOVER from 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0 DHCPOFFER on 10.0.0.24 to 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0 DHCPREQUEST for 10.0.0.24 (10.0.0.10) from 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0 DHCPACK on 10.0.0.24 to 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0 DHCPDISCOVER from 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0 DHCPOFFER on 10.0.0.24 to 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0 DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.102.110 (192.168.102.1) from 00:07:e9:2f:45:55 via rl0: ignored (not authoritative). The first 4 lines are the communication between the rom pxe and the dhcp server. The last 3 lines are the communication between the downloaded pxeboot and the dhcp server. The downloaded pxeboot does not seem to retain the ip address offered by DHCP. Any don't know where it got 192.168.102.110 (192.168.102.1) from. Has anyone faced this problem before.

freebsd pxeboot problem
Hi all, Am having trouble with pxeboot on freebsd 5.1. Am following procedure at http://www.tnpi.biz/computing/freebsd/pxe-netboot.shtml (relevant bit pasted at bottom). This procedure states to create an empty 25Mb file using dd, make a fs out of it (disklabel/newfs/mdconfig), then rsync the contents of mfsroot to this fs. This is then used as the rootfs on the pxeboot client (set vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/md0c). When I try this, the client hangs forever on boot in loader.rc. However, if I simply create a fs using mdconfig and use this on the client, it boots to sysinstall ok (ie gunzip mfsroot.gz; mdconfig -a -t vnode -f mfsroot -u0). I can even mount this fs before I pxeboot and put an install.cfg file there. However, when the client reads it, it hangs when trying to mount server:/usr/local/export/freebsd to install the distribution (Mounting x.x.x.x:/usr/local/export/freebsd over NFS on /dist). I tried exporting the /usr without -ro but no difference. Suspect there is no room on the mfsroot fs more mounting nfs (since I haven't got a 25Mb file). Has anybody set this up before. I have seen somebody else had this problem on freebsd list, but no response. Any help would be appreciated. (Do I summarise back to this list?). Thanks === cd /usr/local/export/pxe dd if=/dev/zero of=mfsroot bs=1k count=25000 mdconfig -a -t vnode -f mfsroot -u0 disklabel -r -w md0 auto newfs /dev/md0c mkdir -p /mnt/mfs mount /dev/md0 /mnt/mfs There, now we've got 25 megs of space mounted on /mnt to play with. The basic rule of thumb here to keep in mind is that you are building a root file system for FreeBSD. Everything the kernel, sysinstall, and your install programs needs from the root file system is what you need to have in your /mnt directory. To get started we'll copy the contents of the distribution mfsroot.flp to our new mfsroot: mkdir /mnt/floppy mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 1 -f /usr/local/export/freebsd5.1/floppies/mfsroot.flp mount /dev/md1 /mnt/floppy cp /mnt/floppy/mfsroot.gz /tmp umount /mnt/floppy mdconfig -d -u 1 gunzip /tmp/mfsroot.gz mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 1 -f /tmp/mfsroot mount /dev/md1 /mnt/floppy rsync -avzH /mnt/floppy/ /mnt/mfs umount /mnt/floppy mdconfig -d -u 1 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
