Hello @misc:
I am trying to install OpenBSD 4.5 (i386) onto my Soekris 4501.
Unfortunately, I cannot seem to get PXEboot to work properly. I setup
my host machine in accordance with the FAQ and I have tested it
locally with the tftp client (i.e., I can successfully execute a 'get
bsd.rd' from localhost).
It appears PXEboot starts but cannot correctly load the kernel. If I
manually load the kernel it appears to stall. If I just let the
machine sit for five minutes at this step nothing else appears to
happen. Has anyone else seen this problem and/or have advice on how
to resolve it?
Thanks.
