trying to boot openbsd image - lakus - 2019-03-14 12:33
Hello,
i try with ipxe(latest from git) to boot an openbsd6.4 image, from a Debian machine with tftpd and http server, the image, which usually i put on a usb pen drive and it boots successfull, but if i try the same image to boot from ipxe, openbsd stops with a kernel panic cause not found of the root device which is usally /dev/wd*.
i tried many different configuration but none of them was able to successfull boot openbsd.
in my real_boot_script.txt i have:
Code:
:openbsd_x64
#kernel memdisk root=/dev/ram0
set memdisk http://X.X.X.X/memdisk
set src http://X.X.X.X/openbsd-image.img
imgfree
initrd ${src}
chain ${memdisk} harddisk raw
exit
:openbsd_exit
clear menu
exit 0the output from fdisk of the image:
sudo fdisk -l openbsd-image.img
Code:
Disk openbsd-image.img: 244,5 MiB, 256376832 bytes, 500736 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
openbsd-image.img4 * 32 500735 500704 244,5M a6 OpenBSDplease, can someone give me some advice what is wrong.
Thanks

Does your kernel support finding memdisk initialized disks?
You should probably read about memdisk in the faq: http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=5948
