Re: PXE boot over NFS please

[Beeblebrox]

I must also boot FreeBSD on NFS via TFTP (not HTTP), but this won't work:

menuentry 'FreeBSD chainload BTX' {

   kfreebsd      boot/loader

or kfreebsd     boot/pxeboot  }

This is because the BTX loader has not been booted in PXE mode and has no record of available PXE devices. Booting into boot/pxeboot also does not work.

 

I would prefer to be able to chainload into BTX for the BSD items, because there are too many settings under boot/loader.conf of BSD that may cause difficulties or incompatibility for direct-boot from grub.cfg.

Any idea how to do this?
