Re: grub2 2.00, PXE boot, and freebsd 9.1

[Richard A. Sitze]

I've tried the following to resolve this issue:

* I've used an alternate tftp server on FreeBSD: the default, built in, 
/usr/libexec/tftpd server and the "in.tftpd" (also known as the 
"tftpd-hal" server?).

* I've built the grub image file using grub-mkimage ... net tftpd pxe

* I've built the grub image file core.0 using grub-mknetdir.

In all cases I'm getting "error: not an IP".

Not sure where to go next with this.  Any guidance would be appreciated.
