I have been trying for a week to PXE boot WindowsPE from a TFTP share on my Freenas box with little luck. I'm running Freenas 9.2.0 Release x64 (ab098f4). The DHCP is handled by my pfSense router and seems to be working fine. I can read the pxeboot.com file from the tftp folder just fine. The problem is the dreaded boot\bcd 0xc000000f error or whatever. I have rebuilt the BCD dozens of times straight from Microsoft walkthroughs and many other sources and am confident it is ok. My questions are: Is there still a 32MB file size limit for TFTP in Freenas? And, do I need to remap the backslash(\) to a forward slash (/) for the files in the \boot\bcd to be read? If so, how do I go about that? Yes, I have heard of Google, and have searched hundreds of pages, but none really addresses these issues in the FreeNAS setting. I've found several YT videos that help, but none that show PXE\TFTP booting of WinPE setup on FreeNAS. I want to use my FreeNAS box and not a separate or virtual TFTP server on another Linux\Windows box. This should be able to work, I feel I'm missing some simple step. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
