set root-path after dhcp resqut - nORKy - 2012-07-24 08:46

Hi,

I want to boot a freebsd pxeboot file (doc: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/network-pxe-nfs.html)

But, the pxeboot file need the root-path set to a nfs server like this "X.X.X.X:/my/path"

My script :

Code:

:freebsd

set root-path "X.X.X.X:/pxeboot/freebsd90"

chain tftp://X.X.X.X/freebsd90/boot/pxeboot || goto failed

goto start

but ipxe says "no supported root-path".

I don't want ipxe read root-path and set the value for me pxeboot

How can I do that ?

The error message is almost certainly coming from FreeBSD rather than iPXE, since that error message doesn't appear anywhere in the iPXE codebase.

I think the problem is that you have quotes around your root-path. Try changing the script to:

Code:

:freebsd

set root-path X.X.X.X:/pxeboot/freebsd90

chain tftp://X.X.X.X/freebsd90/boot/pxeboot || goto failed

goto start
