I have two routerboards, RB433AH and I try to run FreeBSD on them.
I follow the steps from the following links:
http://loos.no-ip.org/routerboard/
https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/BuildingMIPS
But both two methods failed to make RB433AH boot from network on my computer.
I am not quite sure about where the questions happens.But I suppose that there is something wrong with the build script i used.Since after run the build script,I didn't find any files under the tftpboot directory where it should be installed with kernel.So I tried to install the kernel into tftpboot directory by typing make in the cmd line, it works and install some file under the tftpboot directory,but I still cannot boot the RB433AH up.
I also refer the netboot of FreeBSD of PC(http://www.freebsdwiki.net/index.php/In ... th_netboot),in this instruction, it copy the pxeboot directory into the tftpboot directory.I have no idea about which files should I copy into tftpboot directory,or should I still use the make installkernel command to install the kernel into tftpboot directory.
I also suppose that maybe there is something wrong with my dhcp configuration.Since RB433AH even got the IP address from my computer's dhcp server.But I was completely follow the dhcp step of two instructions.Maybe I should use dnsmasq to do the dhcp configuration?Since I install openwrt into RB433AH successfully by using dnsmasq.
Can anyone offer some help l about running FreeBSD on the routerboard?
I would appreciate it if you could offer the detailed tutorial!
