when I try to install mikrotik on wrap via netinstall in the console view these message

No filename in DHCP packet

what it´s ?

If you have an USB CF reader for your Windows PC, that safest and easiest way to install RouterOS on a WRAP is this:

- Use netinstall to install RouterOS to the CF in the USB reader
- Remember to install the "routerboard" package, too. As the WRAP will not correctly reboot otherwise.
- Eject your CF card safely after installation finishes.
- Put the CF card onto the WRAP
- Turn on the WRAP (better have a serial console on it).
- After the installation is finished (that's why a serial console comes handy - you can SEE when it's finished) RouterOS tries to reboot, but CANNOT reboot (this one time), as the software from the "routerboard" package is not active yet. You have to power-cycle the WRAP board now.
- When powering on the WRAP board again, it should boot normally. From now on the "/system reboot" command should work correct, too.

I' m use de CF-IDE adapter and instal from iso cdrom image.
de routerboard was installed .
I acces from winbox much not acess with keyboard on serial console.

the routerboard package is enabled

Maybe your serial cable isn't properly made go to Ports -->> and turn off flow control there and see do you have serial access. Or maybe the wrap is set to a different speed on the serial port that routerOS is , you will see the wrap going through the bios and routerOS loading , but then lose communication with it.

Hi,

I've compiled a new bios for WRAP boards, that include the correct PXE boot paramaters for Mikrotik netinstall.
Just upload by Xmodem the right .UPD file and choose network boot from the serial console at next reboot.

WRAP2.UPD and WRAP1.UPD

What were your steps to compile the PXE support module correctly?

Recompile the etherboot package from http://rom-o-matic.net

With the WRAP options, and add include

- PXE_DHCP_STRICT

WRAP base options:

- natsemi:dp83815 -> controller type
- Binary ROM image -> ZROM
- CONSOLE_SERIAL -> serial console
- COMPRESERVE -> don't change serial parameters, use
the setting left by the BIOS
- POWERSAVE -> execute halt instruction when idle
- Select boot sequence / NIC number as needed
- BOOT_INT18H -> select to boot from disk first, from net
only if no boot disk, or N key pressed
during memory test.

- ASK_BOOT: 3
- BOOT_FIRST: BOOT_NOTHING
- BOOT_SECOND: BOOT_NIC
- BOOT_THIRD: BOOT_NOTHING
- BOOT_INDEX: 0
- BAR_PROGRESS
- SIZEINDICATOR
- LEGACY_SITE_OPTIONS
- ALLOW_ONLY_ENCAPSULATED
- ALLMULTI
- CONGESTED
- TAGGED_IMAGE
- ELF_IMAGE
- PXE_IMAGE
- MULTICAST_LEVEL1
- MULTICAST_LEVEL2
- DNS_RESOLVER
- DOWNLOAD_PROTO_TFTP
- DOWNLOAD_PROTO_NFS
- DOWNLOAD_PROTO_TFTM
- DOWNLOAD_PROTO_HTTP
- PXE_EXPORT
- CONFIG_PCI
- CONFIG_ISA
- PCBIOS
- IBM_L40

Download the ROM file and rename it to pxe.bin.
Owerwrite the pxe.bin file from WRAP bios package, and run make.bat...

Thank you! Much appreciated.

Hello Group..

I have been attempting to load ROS onto a the SD for a WRAP 2 board and have a strange situation that I could use a little help with.

I have downloaded the x86 file successfully onto a laptop running XP.
The problem I am having is when I open NetInstall and first direct it to the ROS file NetInstall finds and lists the install file successfully.

However when I select the drive to install onto the ROS file disappears and even if I redirect NetInstall to the file location it displays nothing in the Packages textbox.

Updated Info: When I open NetInstall and direct it to the ROS files there is no checkbox to the left of any of the packages, only an image which looks like a bag or something to that effect??

In the folders that contain the ROS package on the local XP laptop I have accessed the Folder Properties and made appropriate settings to the folder permissions and also told XP that the x86 file is safe to use even though it came from another computer (from the download).

I appreciate the help.

Best Regards
