Grimes <rgrimes@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |rgrimes@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #10 from Rodney W. Grimes <rgrimes@FreeBSD.org> --- Are you trying to directly use an .ISO image as a diskless boot image? The proper steps for setting up a PXE/diskless boot server are in the handb= ook, and if they are followed this problem well not occur. Specifically at 34.10.1 step 8: Install the base system into ${NFSROOTDIR}, either by decompressing the official archives or by rebuilding the FreeBSD kernel and userland (refer to =E2=80=9CUpdating FreeBSD from Source=E2=80=9D for more detailed instructio= ns, but do not forget to add DESTDIR=3D${NFSROOTDIR} when running the make installkernel a= nd make installworld commands. Decompressing and extracting the base.txz well infact end up with a fully populated ./rescue tree in ${NFSROOTDIR} and rc.diskless works as intended. NOW, if this is the ONLY change we need to make to use the .ISO image as a = PXE ${NFSROOTDIR} and have it work and boot up to the installer I would suggest= a little bit more flexable change using a if [ -x /rescue/tar ]; then=20 (cd /; /rescue/tar -xpf $j) else if [ -x /usr/bin/tar ]; then (cd /; /usr/bin/tar -xpf $j) else echo "Cant seem to find /rescue/tar or /usr/bin/tar, bailing ou= t" exit 1 fi --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
