I am trying to run diskless FreeBSD 4.10-STABLE station under VMWare 4.5. PXE works, loads kernel, kernel probes devices, and then lnc0 is found, but not properly, without it's MAC address printed, and with verbose booting, bpf does not say that it attached lnc0, and then when trying to mound root FS, it just says bootpc_init: no suitable interface However, the with two NIC's emulated, the lnc1 is detected fine. More! The same kernel under emulation finds lnc0 flawlessly when running "local", not when diskless from NFS. Seems like pxeboot somehow hinders lnc0 detection, or something like that. Before booting diskless kernel, on the prompt it "show"s boot.netif.hwaddr, boot.netif.ip, boot.nsfroot.path, boot.nsfroot.server all properly, pxeboot does it's work fine. The kernels and the world has been cvsup'ed and compiled just today, and diskless kernel is almost the same as GENERIC. Am I wrong or VMWare or the kernel? ;-) -- Oles mailto:don_oles@able.com.ua
