Hello,

so far I wasn't able to boot OpenBSD via PXE. I have the same SIS problem
with my NET4501. I made a "pxegrub" from FreeBSD-Ports with SIS included but
the NS-SIS-like chips are not supported. Regrettably I even could not boot
NetBSD with the pxeboot_ia32_(com0).bin since I don't have a NetBSD
installed and it seems like the loader is missing the correct filename to
load via NFS. Perhaps a man page would help.
Well, currently I'm setting up my NET4501 with FreeBSD because I really need
a router, then I'll do some more experiments.

But I think PXE-support for OpenBSD would be highly appreciated by many
users!!!

Best regards,
