Hi!
I am trying to netboot FreeBSD using grub. But until now I did not have
success. First I've set up:
title=Installation FreeBSD 4.6
root (nd)
kernel --type=freebsd /freebsd/kernel
initrd /freebsd/mfsroot.gz
In this case I received:
root (nd)
Filesystem type if tftp, using whole disk
kernel --type=freebsd /freebsd/kernel
[FreeBSD-elf, ...]
initrd /freebsd/mfsroot.gz
Error 19: Linux kernel must be loaded before initrd
Removing the initrd-entry made the kernel boot, but it couldn't find it's
root filesystem. That was OK since mfsroot wasn't unpacked.
Next I tried to use "loader" changing line "kernel --type=freebsd
/freebsd/kernel" to "kernel /freebsd/boot/loader". But now I ran into an
other problem. "loader" doesn't know about tftp and thus isn't able to
load "kernel" and "mfsroot.gz".
Any idea how I can boot freebsd via tftp using grub?
