====== Get PxeLinux and PXE-Knife working with QEMU over HTTP ======

Note : use latest version of Pxelinux to work over HTTP, for me version 3.80 worked.

Following is the way to run Pxe-knife (or any pxelinux based system) over http.
<code> 
qemu -fda gpxe.dsk -net nic -net user -bootp http://10.0.0.2/pxeknife/pxelinux.0
</code>

or you can boot the online version of PXE-Knife using following command.
<code> 
qemu -fda gpxe.dsk -net nic -net user -bootp http://alien.doesntexist.org/pxeknife/pxelinux.0
</code>

==== With gpxe embedded script ====
I recompiled the gpxe with following embedded script ../contrib/scripts/forpxeknife.gpxe, 
<code>
#!gpxe
echo "Hi, We will be using PXEKnife from URL http://www.alien.doesntexist.org/pxeknife/"
dhcp net0
set 209:string /pxeknife.cfg/default
set 210:string http://www.alien.doesntexist.org/pxeknife/
echo "Here we go"
chain http://www.alien.doesntexist.org/pxeknife/pxelinux.0
</code>
and I compile with following command 
<code>
 make clean && make  EMBEDDED_IMAGE=../contrib/scripts/forpxeknife.gpxe
</code>

I execute qemu with no extra parameters at-all.
<code>
qemu -fda gpxe.dsk
</code>
