I have two routerboards, RB433AH and I try to run FreeBSD on them. I follow the steps from the following links: http://loos.no-ip.org/routerboard/ https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/BuildingMIPS But both two methods failed to make RB433AH boot from network on my computer. I am not quite sure about where the questions happens.But I suppose that there is something wrong with the build script i used.Since after run the build script,I didn't find any files under the tftpboot directory where it should be installed with kernel.So I tried to install the kernel into tftpboot directory by typing make in the cmd line, it works and install some file under the tftpboot directory,but I still cannot boot the RB433AH up. I also refer the netboot of FreeBSD of PC(http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_with_netboot),in this instruction, it copy the pxeboot directory into the tftpboot directory.I have no idea about which files should I copy into tftpboot directory,or should I still use the make installkernel command to install the kernel into tftpboot directory. I also suppose that maybe there is something wrong with my dhcp configuration.Since RB433AH even got the IP address from my computer's dhcp server.But I was completely follow the dhcp step of two instructions.Maybe I should use dnsmasq to do the dhcp configuration?Since I install openwrt into RB433AH successfully by using dnsmasq. Can anyone offer some help l about running FreeBSD on the routerboard? I would appreciate it if you could offer the detailed tutorial? I also would like to know about if it is possible to install FreeBSD into RB433AH 128MB flash.I know FreeBSD is much bigger than 128MB, but i see the project which is called miniBSD, can it run on the routerboard's flash or just install the boot file into flash and use the microSD card as disk? -- View this message in context: http://freebsd.1045724.n5.nabble.com/RB433AH-failed-to-boot-from-bootp-protocol-tp5897432.html Sent from the freebsd-mips mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
