From 4d6ab32f9939d8264a5dfba155e4adbf63d7688b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Baptiste Daroussin Date: Wed, 16 Dec 2015 17:13:09 +0000 Subject: pxeboot: make the tftp loader use the option root-path directive pxeboot in tftp loader mode (when built with LOADER_TFTP_SUPPORT) now prefix all the path to open with the path obtained via the option 'root-path' directive. This allows to be able to use the traditional content /boot out of box. Meaning it now works pretty much like all other loaders. It simplifies hosting hosting multiple version of FreeBSD on a tftp server. As a consequence, pxeboot does not look anymore for a pxeboot.4th (which was never provided) Note: that pxeboot in tftp loader mode is not built by default.
