init: not found in path /sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:/stand/sysinstall panic: no init I must be missing something here - I'm trying, and I stress trying, to boot this box from with completely from the network - no floppy, no cd, and a virgin local hard disk. So far I've managed to use a PXE enabled NIC (Intel Pro100) to load "pxeloader" which in turn loads a FreeBSD 4.0 kernel from an NFS mounted share. This same share was built by extracting "bin.??", it contains virtually the entire distribution, including /dev. What's missing here? /sbin/init and /stand/sysinstall both exist (under the root /data/bsdfs). It's getting frustruating - if anyone has done this before please share your experiences, I'd love to hear them.
