+===== qemu with HTTP =====
+For this test, all that you need to have is gpxe.dsk and following command should work without any problems.
+<code>
+qemu -fda gpxe.dsk -net nic -net user -bootp http://etherboot.org/gtest/gtest.gpxe
+</code>
+I also created the copy of gtest on my own web server for testing purpose, and it worked with following command.
+<code>
+$ qemu -fda gpxe.dsk -net nic -net user -bootp http://10.0.0.2/gpxe/gtest.gpxe
+</code>
