anything currently. Some time ago, I sent around a patch that would allow other
EFI applications to use gPXE’s network stack and all of the protocols it
supports. However, the patch was never integrated, and the elilo side of the
code was never written.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

into a single EFI app sounds neat. It’s basically an mknbi command for
EFI. I don’t believe that anyone has actually implemented something like
this, though. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

anything versus booting elilo directly? e.g., even if I use snponly.efi,
won't elilo tftp down the kernel/initrd, or is there some way to bundle a
kernel/initrd/elilo into a single efi, or have elilo use enhanced protocol while
running under gPXE a la pxelinux?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
