After spending some time on this earlier this year, I finally got
OpenBSD's pxeboot to successfully net-boot OpenBSD on my WRAPs. The
problem was with the Etherboot binary which is included within the
BIOS v1.08 and v1.10 from PCengines. I have sent a corrected and
documented BIOS flash image back to PCengines. However, I am not sure
if a corrected Etherboot binary made it into v1.11 of the BIOS which
is available on pcengines.ch.
Unfortunately, I was not successful at booting FreeBSD over the
networking using PXE. Another WRAP user reported to me that my
proposed BIOS update helped in advancing the boot process of FreeBSD a
bit further, but there seems to be yet another problem which prevents
FreeBSD from net-booting successfully.
Holger was in touch with them concerning this issue and from what I
recall hearing PCEngines expects people who want this support to grab
the source code and build a custom firmware image.
Not exactly helpful. But then again I am moving away from 266 mhz
devices so it bothers me very little.
My suggestion at this point is to email PCEngines and make sure they
understand that PXE booting should work out of the box.
