Hi list!
I was trying to create a diskless system with
FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASEp7. The FreeBSD daemons helped
me and I could make it.
Now, etherboot loads the kernel and it boots...
but it does not display the booting process messages.
===================
Once that one minute or so has passed, my system
displays the login prompt and everything seems to be ok,
and it is ok.
I configured X to query xdm in the server and display a login dialog,
but the system did not have enough swap. Configured
the swap file, but I made a mistake. Tried to boot again
but, in this time, my computer rebooted over and over,
without displaying anything.
Of course, the problem was in the dhcp configuration file.
I fixed it and my system worked properly. The problem here
is that I could not see the booting process. Why?
If I could have seen it, I had solved the problem without
guessing what it was.
Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.
Eduardo.
