}Subject: pxeboot automated installs. 
}
}
}
}I am trying to use the pxeboot loader in freebsd to do 
}automated installes.  
}
}I have everything setup and working as far as tftp and isc-dhcpd.  
}
}I have also found the make file in sys/boot/i386/loader and 
}have tried setting 
}pxe to nfs and to tftp.  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.
