Hi, I already described in detail what I've been doing with the FreeBSD server and the Compaq HP client PC here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-February/142116.html
The Bootp exchange seems to be fine and the client gets the kernel from the server. However, during the kernel loading, the client PC "implodes" and starts from BIOS boot up again. The boot messages are given below. The crash messages scroll too fast over the screen to see the details with the bare eye. I recorded it with a digital camera and a snapshot of it is here: http://www.lahaye.dds.nl/pxeboot/crash.jpg The whole boot process in plain text goes as follows: -------------------------------------------------- Attempting Boot From Intel(R) Boot Agent Version 3.0.05 (PnP Device) Initializing Intel(R) Boot Agent Version 3.0.05 PXE 2.0 Build 078 (WfM 2.0), RPL V2.73 Intel(R) Boot Agent Version 3.0.05 Copyright (C) 1997-2000, Intel Corporation CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 02 A5 93 F7 44 GUID: 67862AE2-117C-D511-BFE9-F3C48B4FB125 DHCP./ BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Consoles: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive C: is disk1 PXE version 2.1, real mode entry point 09db8:8186 BIOS a573kB/268896kB available memory FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1 pxe_open: server addr: 192.168.123.1 pxe_open: server path: / pxe_open: gateway ip: 192.168.123.254 Welcome to FreeBSD!

Note that the crash occurs for whatever option 1 to 6 I choose from the FreeBSD boot menu. Does someone understand the crash messages?
