Hello everyone,

I just bought the 6501 and I'm having problems getting the device to
boot from pxe. The soekris is seeing my DHCP server and it's getting
the right ip address from it. Here is the boot sequence on my net6501:
Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v1.3.72
Copyright (C) 1997-2010, Intel Corporation

CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 00 24 CE 6E 04
CLIENT IP: 192.168.2.15  MASK: 255.255.255.0  DHCP IP: 192.168.2.1
GATEWAY IP: 192.168.2.1
TFTP..
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.

No Boot device available, enter monitor.

The server I have DHCP running on is Freebsd 8. The config looks like this:
<code>
subnet 192.168.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.2.2 192.168.2.254;
  option routers 192.168.2.1;
  filename "pxelinux.0";
  next-server 192.168.2.2;
}

host soekris {
  hardware ethernet 00:00:24:CE:6E:04 ;
  fixed-address 192.168.2.15;
}
</code>

The server running tftp(192.168.2.2) is ubuntu. Inetd configured like this:
tftp    dgram   udp    wait    root    /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot

my /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default looks like this:
include ubuntu-installer/i386/boot-screens/menu.cfg
default ubuntu-installer/i386/boot-screens/vesamenu.c32
prompt 1
timeout 300

my ubuntu-installer/i386/boot-screens/text.cfg:
default cli
label install
        menu label ^Install
        menu default
        kernel ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
        append  ks=http://192.168.2.2/ks.cfg vga=normal
initrd=ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz -- quiet
label cli
        menu label ^Command-line install
        kernel ubuntu-installer/i386/linux
        append  ks=http://192.168.2.2/ks.cfg tasks=standard
pkgsel/language-pack-patterns= pkgsel/install-language-support=false
vga=normal initrd=ubuntu-installer/i386/initrd.gz -- quiet

and finally my ks.cfg:
install
url --url http://192.168.2.2/ubuntu/

I've read 10 articles today trying to figure this out, and I think
I've hit a wall. Can anyone help?

thanks,
Devon
