Hi,
I tried to bring up the first node for the new Emulab testbed here in BBN. I did the following,
a) Configured a node to boot with PXE.
b) Configured the 'default_imagename' site variable.
c) Add new node type for my target machine
d) Follow the README in tftpboot folde: 1.Run the 'load-descriptors' to
fill the DB. 2. Customize the freebsd.newnode, freebsd, frisbee and
run 'prepare'
Then I booted my machine and it could get the IP from "boss" and ready to go
further, but it then hanged on the message like this
---------------------------
Attempting boot of:/tftpboot/freebsd.newnode
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf

---------------------------------
PS: I tried with two machine, one is a brand new machine with Intel Core 2 Duo 3G and another is very old machine with P3 processor.
I tried both 62 and 47 images for both machines and they all result in the above problem.
Any idea?
Thank you so much,
Regards,
Evan Zhang
