bapt added a comment. What I mean is we cannot use the one I listed above because they are interpreted by ipxe. For example if one netboots from qemu it will use ipxe under the hood first, then if you pass rootpath tftp:/ ipxe will say Next server: 192.168.42.1 Filename: /pxeboot Root path: tftp:/ Could not open SAN device: Invalid argument (http://ipxe.org/1c126002) No more network devices and the boot process fails. Which is why what I propose is tftpfs:/ because it is not used by ipxe and by default we remain on over nfs so we don't break existing usage REVISION DETAIL https://reviews.freebsd.org/D10603 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://reviews.freebsd.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: kczekirda, oshogbo, tsoome, bapt, sbruno, freebsd-net-list, #network Cc: rgrimes
