FreeBSD PXE installation howto

[Egoitz Aurrekoetxea Aurre]

Hi Erik,

I see.... you know like the first place you look is at handbook... yep I have read too you're guide sometime... seems another way of doing the same...

One suggest only... this is not correct...

# cd /usr/src/sys/boot
# make -DLOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT=YES

has no effect... in the Makefiles you will see it's checking a variable independently of the value the variable contains... and in a make line setting a define AFAIK has not much sense...

Make will do all with the default nfs support.

Bye!!

When I started I see the doc was a bit old-fashioned... so I started looking at some blogs... freebsd doc that could help me understanding the whole process and so on... finally I have ended looking at source code of some involved parts like sysintall, boot stages and so on.... for understanding all properly for setting up this service. I have written a documentation that if you see it to be ok... (it seems to be working fine) perhaps, would be nice to appear in handbook or in some official documentation site... So if you see something that should be done in another way... or some point wich you consider it's wrong... please make me know and I'll correct it.
