I'm running vanilla pxeboot, my etherboot rom is not mine, I just compiled it under linux (under freebsd it was imposible to compile). Since the server is diskless, but has a few nics, I'm using a spare one for vbox. BTW, the 'sometime works' is now 'sometimes failes'! before, after the first reboot, the kernel would panic, the next reboot would hang. Now, reboot mostly succeeds :-) attaching a console boot, HTH, danny I'm attaching the boot console output. --==_Exmh_1272284079_401090--
