To all: It seems I am having problems with trying to install openbsd on my net4501 1.33 bios. Bascially, I don't know where the problem is....since i've been spining my wheels dealing with this today that right now i don't know which way is up...I am sure it's simple, and dumb that I couldn't figure it out.
The problem: pxeboot hangs when it's trying to boot off the ram disk kernel (bsd.rd). I get this message and then the screen freezes: >> OpenBSD/i386 PXEBOOT 2.02 booting tftp:bsd.rd: 4733076+742936 [52+174448+160579]=0x58ad08 entry point at 0x200120 Is it my USB/DB9 cable? I doubt it....everything else works using the usb/db9 cable. I'm now on my third piece of terminal emulation software...minicom. by the way...I am using openbsd 4.2 as the dhcp/ tftp server and bsd.rd/boot.conf is in /tftpboot. why won't bsd.rd boot? pxeboot/bsd.rd are from openbsd 4.2. my boot.conf looks like: <boot.conf> set tty pc0 stty pc0 19200 boot bsd.rd thank you for your help. -andrew- ###############output of the install################ 0064 Mbyte Memory CPU Elan SC520 133 Mhz Pri Mas SanDisk SDCFH-2048 LBA Xlt 992-64-63 2001 Mbyte Slot Vend Dev ClassRev Cmd Stat CL LT HT Base1 Base2 Int ------------------------------------------------------------------- 0:00:0 1022 3000 06000000 0006 2280 00 00 00 00000000 00000000 0:18:0 100B 0020 02000000 0107 0290 00 3F 00 0000E001 A0000000 10 0:19:0 100B 0020 02000000 0107 0290 00 3F 00 0000E101 A0001000 11 0:20:0 100B 0020 02000000 0107 0290 00 3F 00 0000E201 A0002000 05 5 Seconds to automatic boot.
