iPXE + OpenBSD = sadness

[raindog308]

Tried to use iPXE to boot OpenBSD from one of the mirrors.

Configured the network and then:

Code:

iPXE> kernel http://ftp5.usa.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/5.0/i386/bsd.rd
(downloaded it)....ok
iPXE> boot
Could not execute bsd.rd: Requested memory not available.

Error 46038101

Anyone know if it's possible?

I also tried imgfetch, chain, etc.

If you look at http://ipxe.org/err/46038101 (which is what your error code points to) it says that OpenBSD kernel tried to allocate memory that was either unavailable or currently in use. If you can find another way to boot the OpenBSD kernel that doesn't use the same file format you might have luck. See more information on the error page indicated above.

If this doesn't work you should try to get in touch with the iPXE mailing-list, as you might've found a bug.
