I'm trying to build a system similar to Sun's Jumpstart for FreeBSD but I'm running into some problems with the NFS_ROOT option. Here's the current setup: * Intel Pro100 w/PXE * ISC DHCP v3 acting as a bootp server * Intel NIC is able to load "/tftpboot/pxeloader" which in turn loads the kernel from the "/data/bsdfs" which is an nfs exported share. * Kernel boots and loads kernfs.ko Now I'm stuck. I'm looking at this right now: pxe_open: server addr: XXX.YYY.134.10 pxe_optn: server path: /data/bsdfs pxe_open gateway_ip: XXX.YYY.135.1 ... Booting [kernel]... ... Preloaded elf kernel "kernel" at 0xc028b000 Perloaded elf module "kernfs.ko" at 0xc28b09c ... bootpc_init: using network interface 'fxp0' bootpc hw address is 0:90:27:af:7c:75 My ip address is XXX.YYY.135.119 Server ip address is XXX.YYY.134.10 Gateway ip address is 0.0.0.0 (What is this??) Server name is XXX.YYY.134.10 boot file is pxeboot Ignoring field type 54 Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 Router is XXX.YYY.135.1 rootfs is XXX.YYY.134.10:/data/bsdfs Mounting root from nfs: NFS ROOT: XXX.YYY.134.10:/data/bsdfs And then nothing - it's just hanging there. /data/bsdfs lives on a Solaris 2.6 box, I'v verified that it is indeed exported and available to this machine. (# [root@foo-bar:dhcp]$ share - /data/bsdfs rw "" ) Here's some info from the kernel: pseudo-device ether #Generic Ethernet pseudo-device loop #Network loopback device pseudo-device bpf #Berkeley packet filter # One of these is mandatory: options FFS #Fast filesystem options MFS #Memory File System options NFS #Network File System options NFS_ROOT #NFS usable as root device options FFS_ROOT options MFS_ROOT # An embedded system might want to run something other than init. # options INIT_PATH="/stand/sysinstall" options INIT_PATH="/sbin/init:/stand/sysinstall" Any ideas?
