pxeboot hanging on WRAP board

Hi list,

i am trying to get my new WRAP board to boot via pxe.
pxeboot loads fine 
but seems to stall at the point where memory should be
probed. I use 
pxeboot 4.1. Adding two bytes to it as suggested in
http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=11797859111
3386&w=2 did not help.

Any idea what's wrong?

Thank you for your time,

	Heinrich

enable the serial console in $TFTPROOT/etc/boot.conf.

I tried that, but the WRAP does not even try to access
etc/boot.conf at 
this time (according to tcpdump(1) on the server). Also,
pxeboot hangs 
in the middle of the "probing:..." line.

Try a new etherboot from rom-o-matic.net then, you'll need
to piece
it together with the files from wbios11.zip on pcengines.ch
and xmodem
it across. You'll need to use the options detailed in
README.TXT in
rom-o-matic (they're in a different order to listed now, the
console
ones are at the bottom of the web page).

I have successfully booted pxeboot from 4.1 on a WRAP.1E
with
Etherboot 5.4.3

Correct, check this thread, it should answer all questions
(I think
german isn't a problem, right ):

I have updated Etherboot to 5.4.3 and i can now boot bsd.rd,
but only 
after appending 2 dummy bytes to pxeboot (saw this somewhere
on the net).

Thanks to all who helped!
