Hi all, I have successfully implemented a solution to install FreeBSD over the network using pxeboot and Alfred's guide on; http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/pxe/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pxe/article.html I'm trying to take this further one step by allowing the installation of various supported operating systems over the network using pxegrub. I was wondering if anyone was successful using dhcp+tftp+pxegrub/nbgrub to successfully bootstrap a FreeBSD system? My issue originally declares itself once trying to chainload another bootloader, Booting 'FreeBSD 4.11 PXE' kernel /tftpboot/boot/loader Error 24: Attempt to access block outside partition Press any key to continue... my dhcp options look okay, ##For PXE BSD 4.11 get it from pxe1 next-server x.x.x.x ; option root-path "x.x.x.x:/usr/local/export/pxe"; filename "grub/pxegrub"; } My apologies ahead of time if this is better suited on a Grub mailing list; I was hoping some of the experts here have also simulated a similar solution. Thanks again and happy holidays! Best, -- Steve Finkelstein stevefink@gmail.com
