(see src/sys/boot/i386/libi386/pxe.c:275) This bootp routine s the only place that sets servip (defined in bootp.c) which is used by the tftp client in libstand. Any attempt to use tftp will cause tftp-requests to go to 0.0.0.0 This doesn't seem to happen on all systems, so it's probably dependent on the pxe implementation on the nic/motherboard. I'm experiencing this problem on a dell optiplex gx150 >How-To-Repeat: build pxeboot with -DLOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT try to boot. >Fix: If somebody can point me in the right direction of 'the right thing(tm)', I'll be happy to supply a patch. I've got a workaround, but I think the code is feeling violated. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
