    Greetings,

    I recently setup our first Kayak server here (on a system running
    OmniOS-151010u), and can't get the PXE boot to work.  The PXE client
    starts the TFTP phase, but gives up immediately, unable to download
    the file.

    I followed these instructions to setup the Kayak server:

      http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/Installation#Fromthenetwork

    One thing I noticed is that there is no pxegrub file in /tftpboot/,
    nor any menu.lst file.  This page indicates that the kayak-kernel package
    should contain both of those items as well as the miniroot:
      http://omnios.omniti.com/wiki.php/PXEfromNonOmniOS

    However, "pkg contents kayak-kernel" does not list pxegrub, miniroot.gz,
    nor menu.lst:

      # pkg contents kayak-kernel
      PATH
      tftpboot
      tftpboot/boot
      tftpboot/boot/grub
      tftpboot/boot/platform
      tftpboot/boot/platform/i86pc
      tftpboot/boot/platform/i86pc/kernel
      tftpboot/boot/platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64
      tftpboot/boot/platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix
      tftpboot/kayak
      # pkg publisher
      PUBLISHER                             TYPE     STATUS   URI
      omnios                                origin   online
    http://pkg.omniti.com/omnios/r151010/
      ms.omniti.com                         origin   online
    http://pkg.omniti.com/omniti-ms/
      #

    This system was originally installed with 151006, upgraded to 151008, and
    then to 151010u.  After all that was done, the Kayak packages were added.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks and regards,

    Marion
