I would prefer to get it to work on }the default }setting of nfs if possible. } }Upon boot of any pxe machines they get a dhcp address. Then }tftp the pxeboot }file. After this btx takes over and the last message I get }is where it should }start getting the files off of the nfs server. like the }kernel. But the }messages I see are this. } }bootp: no reply }pxe_open: server addr: 0.0.0.0 }pxe_open: server path: /pxeroot }pxe_open: gateway ip: 0.0.0.0 } }Here is what my dhcpd.conf file looks like. } }option domain-name "thisisa.net"; }option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; }option broadcast-address 10.255.255.255; }option domain-name-servers 10.255.255.3; }filename "pxeboot"; }server-identifier 10.255.255.3; }server-name "portal"; }default-lease-time 7200; }max-lease-time 7200; }subnet 10.255.255.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { } option root-path "/usr/releng4"; } server-name "portal"; } option domain-name-servers 10.255.255.3; } filename "pxeboot"; } next-server 10.255.255.3; } range 10.255.255.30 10.255.255.230; } } }subnet 192.168.200.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { } not authoritative; }} } }I have also tried this with a dynamic bootp range. } }I have only been able to get the pxe_open messages to change }its path by hand }editing the /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/pxe.h file and }changeing the static }value of /pxeroot to what I want. } }I still have not been able to change the server address from 0.0.0.0 } }Any experience anyone has with useing the intel pxe boot }loader would be }awesome, the pxe version on the motherboard is v 0.96 } } }Thanks. } } }To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org }with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
