Fail to network boot FreeBSD installer EFI firmware - ccy - 2019-11-18 03:37

I am using a motherboard with UEFI firmware. I attempt to boot to FreeBSD installer from network but fail to do so.

My iPXE setup is working, I can boot to iPXE shell on the PC.

I have NFS root-path setup in dhcp

Can we see your boot script?

This is the script:

Code:

set root-path 192.168.4.2:/mnt/tank/tftproot/freebsd-13.0

set dhcp.root-path 192.168.4.2:/mnt/tank/tftproot/freebsd-13.0

chain http://192.168.4.2/freebsd-13.0/boot/loader.efi || goto failed

OK, I see what you have... Try this:

Code:

set root-path http://192.168.4.2/freebsd-13.0/

set dhcp.root-path http://192.168.4.2/freebsd-13.0/

Code:

set root-path http://192.168.4.2/freebsd-13.0/

set dhcp.root-path http://192.168.4.2/freebsd-13.0/

chain http://192.168.4.2/freebsd-13.0/boot/loader.efi BSDINSTALL_DISTSITE=http://192.168.4.2/freebsd-13.0 || goto failed

I have tried the script, but no luck, same error happen.
