[9fans] PXE tftpload: file does not exist

[Marco Feichtinger <marco@germteig.com>]

I have a standalone file server, and a separate standalone auth server.

I tried to pxe boot a cpu server.
It gets the /386/9boot to load fine, but then it seems, that it can’t retrieve the file /cfg/pxe/<mac address> from my file server.

here is the screen output during bootup:
        9boot gz…starting protected-mode loader at 0x900020
        
        Plan 9 from Bell Labs PXE boot loader
        cpu0: 1800MHz GenuineIntel Atom (cpuid: AX 0x106CA DX 0xBFEBFBFF)
        ELCR: CC80
        #l0: i82598: 10Gbps port 0XFE980000 irq 11: <mac address>
        #l0: i82598: 10Gbps port 0XFE980000 irq 10: <mac address>
        498M memory: 498M kernel data, 0M user, 18M swap
        pxe on ether0 .
        <sysname> (10.0.10.1!69): /cfg/pxe/<mac address> .T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.T.Ttftpread1st: failed to connect to server (10.0.10.1!69)

        failed.
        tftpload: file does not exist

Which is strange, because I did create the file on my file server.
It looks like following:
        bootfile=ether0!/386/9pccpuf
        nobootprompt=tcp
        readparts=1
        mouseport=2
        monitor=vesa
        vgasize=1024x768x8
        user=bootes
        sysname=<sysname>

Does anyone know what might be the problem?
Thanks.
