[-- Attachment #1 --] I am trying to install FreeBSD on a embedded PC. Since the box doesn't have neither keyboard neither vga, I am trying the pxeboot facility. The console is the serial port (some like the console on alpha's). Using the "road book" from Alfred Perlstein, founded on http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/pxe/ , all was running good. I've setup all the server stuff, like dhcp, tftp ... once powered up the box searchs for a DHCP server and get the IP i address, the netmask and so on. the problem is when the loader starts - the machine hangs! here is the output I get: ***************************************** BootManage UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082) BootManage PXE-2.0 PROM 1.0, NATSEC 1.0, SDK 3.0/082 (OEM52) Copyright (C) 1989,2000 bootix Technology GmbH, D-41466 Neuss.

Can someone help me and explain what's going on? Thanks in advance, Pedro PS- Sorry about the CC Alfred...
