Hi, I'm trying to make very big MD_ROOT (300MB) sent using PXEBOOT+TFTPBOOT. No NFS. It's a sort of diskless machine with all the system on ram. There is a problem when the preloaded image is >~32MB. Kernel loads but it does not seem to find the files. It seems as if only part of the image is really there. With a "small" image (<~32MB), no probleme. I use the same image, off course, same init etc... just more data for my application in the big image case.
I use a classic mfs_root approche to make my image dd if=/dev/zero of=$MFS_FILE bs=1k count=$SIZE mdconfig -a -t vnode -f $MFS_FILE -u0 bsdlabel -w /dev/md0 newfs /dev/md0a mount /dev/md0a $MFS_FILE_MOUNT cp ... my content... umount $MFS_FILE_MOUNT fsck -t ufs /dev/md0a mdconfig -d -u 0 then I mount the $MFS_FILE_MOUNT . I use i386/5.4RC2/TFTPD/PXEBOOT+TFTPBOOT . (same pb with a 5.3). Am I missing something obvious?
