Hi Michael,

Thanks for your information!

If I can, I will try iPXE.
I don't remember now where is gPXE in the system (where I put it, for example
DHCP or TFTP server). I hate compiling anything. I've got bad experiences.
I try using packet management (deb or rpm).

No, I think, not. For example there isn't command.com. For MSDOS it is a
must. I think I have to refresh my DOS knowledge.

So do I have to make a booting image in my VM and if it is working I have to
copy it to iSCSI server? Maybe I did it. Maybe not.

TIA,
Ruzsi
