Although not stated in the README file for freebsd.newnode -> "Unlike the other MFSes, there is no real need to customize this one." I followed a similar procedure to those for freebsd or frisbee and now the node does boot after creation. However, I think something goes wrong here because it boots from the same MFS as it did before:
Okay, whatever works!
Emulab looking for control net among bge0 de0 Emulab control net is bge0 Node is already a real node named pc1 As expected the node now has the same IP as the temporal IP it had before the creation and not the IP that I configured when creating the node.
Take a look in /usr/testbed/etc/dhcpd.conf; when you create a node, that file is updated and dhcpd is restarted. I suspect there is no entry for your node, and the reason for that might be that you do not have any switches. I know Rob said you could proceed without the switches, but I forget what the trick is to get create node to still get the control interface figured out. Let me think about that for a bit. Lbs
