Hi all, I'm trying to get FreeBSD 5.0-RC2 installed on a Thinkpad X21 laptop without floppy or cd-rom drive. I'm booting the installation from PXE. Note that this procedure works with 4.7, but I haven't found any specific documentation for a PXE install of 5.0.
On the server: tftpd: /tftpboot contains pxeboot (from the ISO). dhcpd root-path points to "/usr/local/pxe-5.0" /usr/local/pxe-5.0 contains: ./mfsroot.gz ./kernel ./boot ./boot/loader ./boot/loader.rc $ cat ./boot/loader.rc echo Loading kernel... load /kernel echo Loading mfsroot... load -t mfs_root /mfsroot set vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0c" autoboot 10 The above works in getting the installation program to run. I'm using an NFS share of the complete 5.0-RC2 ISO as media source for installation. The installation program finishes without error, asks for a root password and such, but after reboot, the created slice is not bootable: "Error loading operating system" I'm using the default DOS MBR. Any suggestions? Thanks, Sven Hazejager To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
