My tftpboot folder is in the root /tftpboot, so I assume I do this I am not using /var/lib/tftpboot

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/tftpboot -m /tftpboot/tftpd.remap

instead of

tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /var/lib/tftpboot -m /var/lib/tftpboot/tftpd.remap

also do I take the remap out of tftpd-hpa file?, and use the one from the inetd.conf file?

[clivebuckwheat]

I didn't have to do any of that, IT BOOTS with network support now

the first line in the startnet.cmd has to be wpeutil initializenetwork, when booting from a wim file only the basic winpe loads

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

I have learned so much from you,

ps:one more question, what does that line we comment out in the inetd.conf file do??

so i am not a linux expert,
as i can understand (from Google search) the way of starting the tftpd server is different

first method:
if in the configuration file '/etc/default/tftpd-hpa'
RUN_DAEMON="yes"
then tftpd-hpa server runs as a daemon
independently of inetd

second method:
inetd called "Internet Super-Server" (Internet Daemon).
It is started at system boot time and it manages connections for services.
When a connection is received by inetd, it determines which program the connection is destined for, spawns the particular process and delegates the socket to it.
So inetd listen for incoming traffic on a socket, and when such traffic appears, it can launch the appropriate service.
The inetd.conf file tells inetd which ports to listen to and what server to start for each port.

When you comment the tftp line in '/etc/inetd.conf' you tell inetd daemon not to listen to tftp request and ports.

Do you have any inetd service (e.g. openbsd-inetd or inetutils-inetd) installed and running?

check if your system uses inetd:
ps -e | grep inetd

show the list of installed packages:
dpkg --get-selections | grep inetd
or
aptitude search inetd

https://bugs.launchp...hpa/ bug/227881

if the command
ps -e | grep inetd
returns with an answer then it means inetd daemon is running,
if there is no answer at all then it means inetd does not run

if the command
dpkg --get-selections | grep inetd
returns with e.g. something like this:
openbsd-inetd install
that means 'openbsd-inetd' package is installed on your system
in this case you can choose to let start the tftp server via inetd:
have to use RUN_DAEMON="no" in '/etc/default/tftpd-hpa'
(the tftp server doesn't start as an independent daemon and the line OPTIONS="-l -s etc..." will not active)
in this case have to define the options in '/etc/inetd.conf'
so if your tftp root is '/tftpboot' and your remap file is '/tftpboot/tftpd.remap'
try:
tftp dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/in.tftpd /usr/sbin/in.tftpd -s /tftpboot -m /tftpboot/tftpd.remap -vvv

[mrmucox]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I had the remap setup in one place, but not the other, resulting in the \Boot\BCD configuration error.

This was the only place that I found that was willing to work out clivebuckwheat's problem (and mine)!
