====== Get PXE Knife working with QEMU ======

If you dont know what is PXE Knife, better visit [[http://pxeknife.erebor.org/]] because I will be assuming you know all on that site.

===== Get PXE Knife working with QEMU with tftp =====
  - Downloaded [[http://pxeknife.erebor.org/releases/pxeknife-0.0.2.tar.gz]] at ///home/myname/pxeknife///
  - unpacked it in ///home/myname/pxeknife///
  - You will also need PXELinux [[http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX]]
<code>
$ cd /home/myname/pxeknife/pxeknife/
$ cp /usr/lib/syslinux/pxelinux.0 .
$ cp /usr/lib/syslinux/*.c32 .
$ cp /usr/lib/syslinux/memdisk .
$ mkdir pxelinux.cfg
$ vi pxelinux.cfg/default
</code>

Tried using http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Development/Testing but no success yet.\\
Commands tried
<code>
$ cd gpxe/bootables/
$ qemu-img create -f raw testing.img 10M
</code>

Now, trying different commands
<code>
$ qemu -net nic -net user -boot n -hda ./testing.img -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /home/minix-pravin/Etherboot/v2/pxeknife/pxeknife/ 
No valid PXE rom found for network device
</code>

Here is the code which is working
<code>
qemu -net nic -net user -boot n -hda ./testing.img -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /home/pravin/Etherboot/v2/pxeknife/pxeknife/
</code>
