Chainloading iPXE with custom script
I am trying to chainload iPXE to boot into SmartOS using the instructions at this url:

http://blog.smartcore.net.au/smartos-ipx...h-pfsense/

I set this up and got a VM under VMware mostly working, it fails to load SmartOS but I can see the NIC getting the image and showing the menu. So I started setting up my server which is using 4 onboard Intel NICs, I can see that PXE gets kicked off and then it loads iPXE, then I get an error. Here is the console output:

Code:
CLIENT MAC ADDR: XX XX XX XX XX XX
CLIENT IP: X.X.X.X  MASK: X.X.X.X  DHCP IP: X.X.X.X
GATEWAY IP: X.X.X.X
PXE -> EB: !PXE at 77CB:0070, entry point at 77CB:0106
                UNDI code segment 77CB:4BA0, data segment 7194:6378 (454-499kb)
                UNDI device is PCI 09:00.1, type DIX+802.3
                454kB free base memory after PXE unload
iPXE initialising devices...ok



iPXE 1.0.0+ -- Open Source Network Boot Firmware -- http://ipxe.org
Features: HTTP iSCSI DNS TFTP AoE bzImage ELF MBOOT PXE PXEXT Menu
Configuring (net0 XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)................. Error 0x040ee119 (http://ipxe.org/040ee119)

I followed the page, it doesn't have much info and a google search of the error gives me two results, one of which is a pastebin of someone with almost the exact text I just typed above.

Any help is appreciated.

RE: Chainloading iPXE with custom script
That's because that is basically the "new" error page for "dhcp failed". You might find more debugging information here: http://ipxe.org/err/4c1060

I've updated the error page you pointed at to include this pointer.
