Hi all,
I have successfully implemented a solution to install FreeBSD over the
network using pxeboot and Alfred's guide on;
http://people.freebsd.org/~alfred/pxe/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pxe/article.html
I'm trying to take this further one step by allowing the installation
of various supported operating systems over the network using pxegrub.
I was wondering if anyone was successful using
dhcp+tftp+pxegrub/nbgrub to successfully bootstrap a FreeBSD system?
My issue originally declares itself once trying to chainload another bootloader,
Booting 'FreeBSD 4.11 PXE'
kernel
/tftpboot/boot/loader
Error 24: Attempt to
access block outside partition
Press any key to continue...
my dhcp options look okay,
##For PXE BSD 4.11 get it from pxe1
next-server x.x.x.x ;
option root-path "x.x.x.x:/usr/local/export/pxe";
filename "grub/pxegrub";
}
My apologies ahead of time if this is better suited on a Grub mailing
list; I was hoping some of the experts here have also simulated a
similar solution.
Thanks again and happy holidays!
Best,
