iPXE doesn't boot
iPXE doesn't boot
Running virtualbox-ose-4.3.12_1 on FreeBSD 10-REL with DHCP, NFS and TFTP properly setup (physical hardware machines boots from configuration). However virtual machines doesn't boot, stucking at bootloader. Plus "ignoring unsupported root path" message looks suspicious. Anyone could help solving this problem?

Re: iPXE doesn't boot
Did you install the Extension Pack?
Re: iPXE doesn't boot
No, since was trying to stay within OSE. Yet testing with Intel ROM from Extensions Pack let it boot properly, as well as generated one on above mentioned website. Looks like a iPXE problem.
Re: iPXE doesn't boot
Note that it's confusing if you say "Intel PXE" and are talking about "gPXE configured to support E1000". Intel has their own PXE ROM (which we are including in the extension pack, Intel doesn't allow distributing the sources, only the binaries)...
It's possible that your PXE setup somehow doesn't like iPXE. But before you blame iPXE, please try a recent version of iPXE. At the moment the iPXE sources used to produce the ROM included in the VirtualBox base package aren't anywhere near latest and greatest, which means it might be lacking bug fixes.
