The following reply was made to PR kern/91720; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Jonas Nagel <fireball@zerouptime.ch> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, ruben.kerkhof@gmail.com, ceri@submonkey.net Cc: Subject: Re: kern/91720: [pxe] pxeboot always tries to do an rpc call to an nfs-server Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 01:27:48 +0200 I just noticed that this bug is still not fixed, I don't see why this couldn't get committed... Also, I recognized that TFTP support is probably not getting us anywhere, because it still wants to mount the root or the distribution media from an NFS mount later, after the kernel had booted. Or maybe I just misunderstood what TFTP support is about. But apart from that there is another issue to that bug: if the NFS mount succeeds when it does that RPC call it fails to transfer the kernel through that since it seems the NFS calls are incomplete, if TFTP is enabled. Consequence of that is that you need to disable the NFS export (if root-path matches). If you need more details in something I have experimented a bit around with both features...NFS and TFTP compiled pxeloader. - Jonas Nagel
