            Bug ID: 217761
           Summary: FreeBSD/powerpc64 head r313561's /boot/loader cannot
                    boot the kernel from NFS
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: powerpc
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: hiroo.ono+freebsd at gmail.com

I installed FreeBSD/powerpc64 head r313561 (snapshot of 20170210) and there is
something wrong with its bootloader.

I tried to net boot the installer. The configuration of isc-dhcp is:

host powerpc {
  hardware ethernet xxx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx;
  fixed address 192.168.0.15;
  next-server 192.168.0.10;
  filename "loader";
  option root-path "192.168.0.10:/exports/FreeBSD/ppc64/12c-20170210";
}

tftp configuration in inetd.conf is:

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/local/libexec/in.tftpd in.tftpd -s
/exports/FreeBSD/ppc64/12c-20170210/boot

and 192.168.0.10:/exports/FreeBSD/ppc64/12c-20170210 is NFS mountable with full
system
copied from disc1.iso.

I tried to boot from openfirmware console

> boot eboot:,loader

the file loader is retrieved via tftp and executed, but it says it cannot find
the file 'kernel'.

I replaced /boot/loader with the loader of 11.0-RELEASE. It successfully booted
/boot/kernel/kernel,
and I managed to install.
