Hi everyone, Lately I had some problems, trying to get FreeBSD to PXE boot. (Actually I'm using a VMware virtual machine.) First I'm using iPXE 1.0.0 and then load and launch the FreeBSD pxeboot <http://man.freebsd.org/pxeboot>loader. But I'm getting this : http://forums.freebsd.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=45901 When using isc-dhcp as DHCP server I'm getting the error but when using dnsmasq everything works fine. The problem seems that the client when booting is sending 2 DHCP requests and therefore gets two different IP addresses, the first one sent by the ROM and the second one by the FreeBSD pxeboot<http://man.freebsd.org/pxeboot>loader. I found somewhere in some posts that the pxe.c file is doing a second bootprequest because it fails to get cached DHCP data from the ROM. Any help or more ideas would be appreciated.
