This shouldn't be the case. IIRC, nothing has changed that would cause
this. More info on your environment please?
Well, I never tried /this/ part before, so I'm not claiming, there is
/re/gression here. Just lack of /pro/gress :-)
I have the following special entry in the dhcpd.conf:
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.186;
next-server 192.168.1.140;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option root-path "192.168.1.140:/cdrom";
filename "pxeboot";
}
The filesystem accessible as /cdrom was an md-accessed
FreeBSD-8.1-RC1-i386-disc1.iso (or bootonly). Can't easily recreate
this, because the netbooting machine has now gone back to its owner.
The problem did not surprise me, because I followed (loosely) the
instructions
<http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/Installing_FreeBSD_with_netboot>,
where it was mentioned -- along with a work-around. If some simple logic
can be put into the boot-image to allow it to do the right thing without
manual fiddling, it would be great. Thanks!
