Hello all,
I recently updated my world to a releng5 source tree from 12/27. I noticed
that almost all of the RCNG scripts work perfectly for diskless (PXE) booting.
There is one minor problem that can easily be fixed. Upon booting the rc
scripts immediately initiate fsck of file systems. Si

i was thinking of adding something like this to dhcp:
option FBSD.rc-conf "132.65.16.100:/c/conf/rc

Danny,
What do you think about doing a little more polishing and rolling a new
set of patches taking this /etc/rc.conf option into account? Your kernel
env dhcp variables are really good. I know that many do want to do what
you are doing (large scale RO /); but up until now /etc/rc.diskless* ha

at stage 1, the diskless host sends out a bootp/dhcp request, the dhcpd
servers sends
back some packets, and pxeloader gets tftp'ed.
i modified libstand/bootp.c to place all the tags - that dhcp provides - in
the kernel
environmet, so that they can be used later - eg in rc.diskless1.

If you wanted to match the style for most of the rc* files, and avoid an

Haven't tried all the new stuff, but i've installed it on several different
hosts and so far have had no real problems, good work!!
Since im very interested in diskless/dataless, and i've been at it for some
time now, i made some changes to libstand/bootp.c and /etc/rc.diskless1
which i wouldn't
It seems that the problem is in kern/vfs_conf.c:
When performing BOOTP configuration, nfs/bootp_subr:bootpc_init() is called before
the root-mount attempts. This routine finds the first non-loopback and non-point-
to-point interface, and does the bootp request. If it gets all of its needed
data
I'm attempting to boot a -current system (from 4 days ago) off of a modified
GENERIC kernel floppy disk, and it is failing in kern/vfs_conf.c's vfs_mountrootfs
routine, with a message:
rootdev=0x error=6, panic: cannot mount root(2)
rootdev is NODEV, and err is ENXIO.
The isc-dhcp
Diskless (BOOTP_NFSROOT,NFS_ROOT) booting appears to be broken in
-current. (at least on alpha, haven't tried x86):
net0:> boot kernel.de1
/kernel.de1 data=0x261540+0x253f8 syms=[0x8+0x30ae0+0x8+0x232eb]
Entering kernel.de1 at 0xfc325c80...
