Just my observations about PXE booting and FreeBSD:

I first tried pxeboot using tftp, but also never got it to work with
FreeBSD's tftp server. I then tried several win based tftp servers, and
a couple of them worked just fine.... I eventually switched pxeboot to
nfs, as the win tftp server that worked best cost $$$, and the demo was
time limited.

So it seems like that FreeBSD's tftp server and pxeboot works
seperately, but don't like each other....


Regards,


Soren
