You can disable it. thanks for the hint. I have checked the VMWare settings and saw that the virtual adapter I use is not part of the VMWare-DHCP configuration (I use the bridged adapter which is excluded from using the WMWare´s own DHCP service). I´m pretty sure this is no vmware issue as I can see the request from the client on the FreeBSD DHCP/TFTP/NFS server. The PXE part makes a second DHCP request and does not get the expected answer and defaults to some strange value where to find the kernel ("/pxeroot"). The main question is, why does it not accept what I´ve entered in the dhcpd.conf ("option root-path "192.168.2.38:/usr/local/export/pxe") and takes "/pexroot" instead?
