Setting up TFPd

This is one of the easiest pieces to get working.

1. mkdir /tftpboot.
2. Uncomment the tftp line in /etc/inetd.conf.
3. Add inetd_enable=“YES” to your /etc/rc.conf.
4. Run /etc/rc.d/inetd start.

Now that the server is working, we need the boot loader that will be served via TFTP to the PXE loader on your machine.

1. cp /sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/pxeboot /tftpboot

If this file is not found, do this:

1. cd /usr/src/sys/boot
2. make clean
3. make depend
4. make
5. cp i386/pxeldr/pxeboot /tftpboot

Now the boot loader is ready.
