CL1000 comes with two ethernet interfaces, both VIA Rhine III 10/100, on my system (from FreeBSD 4.10 dmesg): vr0: port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xde000000-0xde0000ff irq 12 at device 15.0 pci0 vr0: Ethernet address: 00:40:63:d4:89:72 miibus0: on vr0 vr1: port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xde002000-0xde0020ff irq 11 at device 18.0 pci0 vr1: Ethernet address: 00:40:63:d4:89:71 miibus1: on vr1 VIA supports pxeboot so I wanted to use this with dhcp/tftp/ftp to reinstall the system as I have no spare cd drive. I have succesfully set up the server for dhcp, tftp and ftp. The VIA machine correctly loads the pxeboot file, fetches a memory filesystem and mounts it as root. All on vr0. The problem comes when the machine ends stage 3. It does no longer find vr0!? I previously had problems forcing the boot loader to use the memory file system as root device. I then had compiled the kernel with NFSCLIENT and NFS_ROOT options along with MD_ROOT. With this config the machine tried to nfs mount a root file system over vr0 - no problem finding the interface. I have now removed all options refering to NFS - BOOTP is still there. Now vr0 is not found. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
