Using grub-trunk. My PXE boot environment is a little different:
* FreeBSD_amd64 jail on /data/amd64, serving dhcp & tftp from jail.
NFS-related (rpcbind, nfsd, mountd) being served from host (trivial
detail). Jail IP is 192.168.2.1
* Once PXE client obtains IP, the tftp-server needs to find Grub's
grub.pxe, which will then bring up the menu defined in grub.cfg
* grub.cfg will have 3 different NFS-exported destinations as boot
choices, which have same IP as jail (nfs:/192.168.2.1:/data/*):
+ /data/amd64 for FreeBSD_amd64
+ /data/i386 for FreeBSD_i386
+ /data/tftp for various *.iso images for booting with "loopback"
My questions are:
1. I assume that since dhcp and tftp are being served from /data/amd64
jail, I must place the grub folder under that path in order for
tftp-server to find it. I don't see a way where tftp-server would be
able to serve-up the grub menu if it were in say /data/tftp path?
2. Do I need to run the code below, is the syntax correct, or is this
for old version:
grub-mkimage --format=i386-pc-pxe --output=grub.pxe
--prefix='(192.168.2.1)/data/amd64/boot/grub' pxe pxecmd
3. Recall that the grub folder will be residing on /data/amd64 or
/data/tftp. Waht is the grub.cfg entry for /data/i386? Will this
work?
menuentry "FreeBSD_i386" {
set root='ip=:::::eth0:dhcp nfsroot=192.168.2.1:/data/i386'
kfreebsd /boot/loader }
Thank you for any input.
