Hi there,

I have some troubles to boot a node with gpxelinux, chain.c32 and a
freebsd (version 7) bootloader installed on the /dev/sda3 part of my
node.

For information, it works fine with pxelinux.

In both cases, the version 3.73 of gpxelinux/pxelinux is used.

My PXE profile : 
DEFAULT bootlabel
label bootlabel
        KERNEL images_emmanuel/chain.c32
        APPEND hd0 3

The message I obtain on the node :
/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x72a328 data=0xed538+0x71b48
syms=[0x8+0xaa8f8+0x8+0x92fea] Consoles: internal video/keyboard
serial port BIOS drive C: is disk0
BIOS 548kB/2095488kB available memory

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 1.1
(root at gdx-48, Mon Jul 28 07:29:51 UTC 2008)
Can't work out which disk we are booting from.
Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaulting to disk0:

Do you have any idea of the problem ?

Thanks,
Emmanuel.
