====== Howto use gPXE with the Asus Eeepc 900 and a USB key ====== (this howto is made in mind that you don't have access to a TFTP server on your LAN, that you are too lazzy to setup one, or that your sysadmins forbids it) - Compile undi.usb:<code> cd gpxe.git/src; make bin/undi.usb </code>Or if you are lazzy download a [[http://zoobab.wikidot.com/local--files/eeepc/undi.usb|binary version here]]. - Copy it to a USB key (your key is seen as sdc by linux, change it in function of yours): <code> dd if=undi.usb of=/dev/sdc </code> - Put the USB key in one slot of the Eeepc - Go to the BIOS settings at boot (press F2 at the BIOS) - Go to the "Boot" tab - Check if the "Onboard LAN Boot ROM" is [Enabled] - Go to the "Hard Disk Drives" menu and put the [USB:1G USB2.0Flash] device as the "1st Drive" with the + button and press Esc to go back to the previous menu - Go to the "Boot Device Priority" menu and put the [USB:1G USB2.0Flash] as the "1st Boot Device" - Go to the "Exit" tab and press "Exit & Save Changes" by answering "OK" to this question. - Then the Eeepc should be able to boot on the USB key. - While it starts, type Ctrl-B to get a shell and try <code>gpxe> dhcp net0</code>, it should give you an IP address if you have a DHCP server on your network. - Then try to load a linux kernel (it can takes up to 2 minutes, be patient)<code>gpxe> kernel http://etherboot.org/gtest/gtest.pxe</code> and then type <code>gpxe> boot</code>
