PXE boot using Grub bootloader fails at mountroot; no PXE devs.

[Beeblebrox]

Sorry for the late response, but there were too many mixed results and I had to get all variables before commenting. I can't make any sense of it, Bu I can say that all required modules are loaded by both Grub & BTX boot settings.

B: BTX, D: Debug Kernel, G: GRUB, NGM: No Grub Menu (not BSD-related)

platform/if ] B-386D ] B-x64D ] B-x64 |] G-x64 ] G-x64D ] G-386D ]

i386_P3/e100]  <2>   ]   NA   ]  NA   |]  NA   ]  NA    ]  <2>   ]

<1>: Gets to "Booting..." message, then hangs /w nothing further.
<2>: Drops to KDB debug & shows below. This is an old Tecra_8200 laptop with an almost ancient video card (trident bladeXP)
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in vm86 mode
fault virtual address 0x9dc82
fault code= user read, page not present
<3>: Immediate black screen (like video err) unresponsive keyboard (ctrl+alt+del). This mobo has no internal video card, so I have placed a very old (i386-based) card. Might explain why the 386D kernel gets booted on the platform.
<4>: Boots, gets to mount NFS root and loops with:
newnfs server <IP>:/path not responding  \ msk0 watchdog timeout \ msk0 down \ msk0 up
<5>: Kernel boot panics with message: bootpc_init: no eligible interfaces
(this #5 is the initial problem I had reported)
