Hey,
I've been building FreeBSD jumpstart infrastructure and it mostly
works. I'm using tftp to boot off the network in to scripted
sysinstall. I compiled the boot loader with tftp support but every time
I boot it will first try nfs, then timeout after around two minutes (it
cannot find nfs) and finally boot from tftp. Is there any way that I
can make it boot from tftp straight away rather than wait for nfs to
timeout?
This is how I build the boot loader:
cd /usr/src/sys/boot
sudo make clean
sudo make LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=YES
sudo cp i386/pxeldr/pxeboot /jumpstart/tftpd/boot/pxeboot.0
sudo cp i386/boot0/boot0 /jumpstart/tftpd/boot/
sudo cp i386/boot2/boot1 /jumpstart/tftpd/boot/
sudo cp i386/boot2/boot2 /jumpstart/tftpd/boot/
sudo cp i386/mbr/mbr /jumpstart/tftpd/boot/
This is my loader.conf:
# loader.conf
init_path="/stand/sysinstall"
rootfs_load="YES"
rootfs_name="/boot/mfsroot"
rootfs_type="mfs_root"
vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0c"
autoboot_delay=0
And loader.rc:
#loader.rc
echo hopping the kernel...
include /boot/loader.4th
start
Many thanks,
Jedrek
