Hi,

I'm trying to get FreeBSD 7.2 booting using mboot module from syslinux
3.82. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. Here is my pxelinux config:
=== 8< ===
label freebsd72-i386-mboot
    kernel mboot.c32
    append /kernels/freebsd/7.2/i386/boot/kernel/kernel single ---
/kernels/freebsd/7.2/i386/boot/mfsroot
=== 8< ===

Here is the error message I get on boot:
=== 8< ===
Loading /kernels/freebsd/7.2/i386/boot/kernel/kernel... ok
Loading /kernels/freebsd/7.2/i386/boot/mfsroot... ok
Memory segment at 0xc0400034 (len 0x000000a0) is unavailable
=== 8< ===

After adding some debug to the source code I found out that the memory
that it's trying to use is not defined (SMT_UNDEFINED). Any ideas why ?

Anyone has been able to successfully load FBSD using mboot ?

Thank you !
