Originally created by @dszidi on GitHub (Feb 2, 2019).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/302

When I try to load any of the BSD installs it fails. After checking through the scripts I found in the file /src/freebsd.ipxe on line 32 the url for the image is being set. It is missing architecture level in the path.

Currently the url it is trying to load is

http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/files/images/${image_subdir}/mfsbsd-${image_ver}-${freebsd_arch}.img

It should be ...

http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/files/images/${image_subdir}/${freebsd_arch}/mfsbsd-${image_ver}-${freebsd_arch}.img

BTW I would have done this myself and created a patch but there is a lack of build instructions currently. Also I've not had any luck using the feature that should allow me to test my own fork.

Ran into this as well

Additionally I noticed that mfsbsd.vx.sk is redirecting http to https. So I tried to building my own custom netboot.xyz and I could not get the freebsd installer to boot

Yeah thanks for making an issue for this, I have a PR up for correcting the URL: github.com/antonym/netboot.xyz@e82d679dfb

But there may be an upstream bug with iPXE https talking to Let's Encrypt certs that's causing iPXE to trigger a Permission Denied (0227e13e) when trying to talk to the https server. I'm currently tracking a PR that's being actively worked to fix this:

https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/pull/90

Well, I made PR #309 with the url change. Also addedd FreeBSD 12. Would have commented earlier, but the title of this issue was not calling me to read it.

Having label freebsd would be nice.

Seems like https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/pull/90 was fixed.

@patrakov commented on GitHub (Oct 22, 2019):

The wrong URL is a moot point, because the SSL setup for mfsbsd.vx.sk is incompatible with iPXE due to the mismatch of supported ciphersuites. I have already notified the maintainer:

https://github.com/mmatuska/mfsbsd/issues/101

Due to their lack of response, I guess there is no other choice than removing FreeBSD from the list of systems offered by netboot.xyz.

Yeah, since they added https, it's been busted, thanks for opening up a ticket upstream, it might just be a good idea to reference that ticket in the BSD menu and then anyone interested in it can go poke that issue.
