      Hello,

      i tryed to make PFSense Bootup over PXE.

      • I configured the DHCP-Server
      • I've build the pxelinux.cfg/default
      PROMPT 5
      DEFAULT local
      TIMEOUT 50
      DISPLAY welcome.msg
      label local
                   LOCALBOOT 0
      
      label 1
                   kernel memdisk
                   append initrd=pfsense_2.3.2_64/pfSense-CE-memstick-2.3.2-RELEASE-amd64.img raw
      label 2
                   kernel memdisk
                   append initrd=pfsense_2.3.2_i386/pfSense-CE-memstick-2.3.2-RELEASE-i386.img raw
      label 3
                   kernel openSuSE_13.2_64/linux
                   append initrd=openSuSE_13.2_64/initrd
      
      label 4
                   kernel openSuSE_13.2_i386/linux
                   append initrd=openSuSE_13.2_i386/initrd
      
      
      • I also tryed to Boot directly from the ISO:
      label 2
                   kernel memdisk
                   append iso initrd=pfsense_2.3.2_i386/pfSense-CE-2.3.2-RELEASE-i386.iso cdrom raw
      
      

      The Error-Message is still "Mounting from cd9660:/dev/iso9660/PFSENSE failed with error 19."

      mountroot>

      • And also via direct PXE-Path
      label 1
                   pxe pfsense/pxeboot
      
      

      Than i have seen, that the Image tryed to be loaded from NFS. Thats okay for me, but it failed also to load the "kernel" (see attachment)
      (Yes, i set the Root-Path in the DHCP-Server)

      So what is the correct way to Boot equal i386 or 64 Bit directly via PXE?
      My openSuSE works great.

      I read in some entrys that i had to load the "pxeboot" from the /boot/. Where should this been enterd?
      Does anybody have had some sample-files for me?

      Thanks a lot

              You could try PXE booting mfsbsd and then fetch pfSense. Maybe I'll try and set it up out of curiosity…
