Hi all, I spent some more time debugging this RC bug by setting up my server and testing the PXE boot of kfreebsd-i386 on two different laptops; the results are: * the "error: prefix is not set" error always appears when using the wheezy grub2pxe; it also happens with the current sid grub2pxe [0]; * the resistance to this error apparently depends on the PXE implementation: - my "acer Aspire One" displays the error and then proceeds to displaying grub, then allowing the boot of the kfreebsd-i386 installer; - my "ThinkPad X220" displays the error and stops; - kvm launched locally with [1] proceeds to grub; [0] http://http.debian.net/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-kfreebsd-i386/20130430/images/netboot/grub2pxe [1] kvm -m 256 -net nic -net - user,bootfile=/grub2pxe,tftp=/usr/lib/debian-installer/images/7.0/kfreebsd-amd64/gtk/ As debian-installer-netboot-images is only copying these files from the mirrors, I don't think it is the correct source package to track this bug. The above tests now make me think that this is either a problem of debian-installer calling grub-mkimage wrongly in build/config/kfreebsd.cfg or a bug in grub-mkimage not incorporating the prefix correctly when creating a PXE image. I'm therefore hereby reassigning this bug to both these packages (in their wheezy versions) and marking it as affecting the correct d-i-n-i binary packages. Cheers, OdyX
