| - | ====== Burning gPXE into Intel gigabit (e1000) cards ====== | + | This page has moved to [[intel]] |
| - | + | ||
| - | Intel provides a utility called IBAUtil which allows you to update the expansion ROM images in Intel gigabit network cards. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Renaming the ROM image ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Give the gPXE ROM image a name suitable for Intel's IBAUtil ROM-burning tool: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | cp bin/pci_8086_107c.rom 8086107c.iba | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | where //bin/pci_8086_107c.rom// is the gPXE ROM image that you have just built, and //8086107c.iba// is formed from the PCI vendor and device IDs (//8086// and //107c// respectively in this example). | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Preparing the tools ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Download and save the two files: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | * A FreeDOS boot disk, [[http://rom.etherboot.org/boot/dosboot.img|dosboot.img]] | + | |
| - | * Intel's IBAUtil ROM-burning tool, available as part of [[http://downloadcenter.intel.com/detail_desc.aspx?agr=N&DwnldID=8242|PROBOOT.exe]] | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Copy your gPXE ROM image to the FreeDOS boot disk: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | mcopy -i dosboot.img 8086107c.iba :: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | where //8086107c.iba// is the renamed gPXE ROM image as created earlier. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Run //PROBOOT.exe//. This is a Windows application; if you don't have a Windows installation available then you should be able to run it under Linux using [[http://www.winehq.org/|Wine]]. //PROBOOT.exe// will extract several files to the directory //C:\Intel12.3//; the single file you want is //C:\Intel12.3\IBAUtil.exe//. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Copy //IBAUtil.exe// to the FreeDOS boot disk: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | mcopy -i dosboot.img /path/to/IBAUtil.exe :: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | where ///path/to/IBAUtil.exe// is the path to your extracted copy of //IBAUtil.exe//. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Creating the boot disk ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Transfer the boot disk image to a floppy disk: | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | dd if=dosboot.img of=/dev/fd0 | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | If you do not have a floppy disk available, you can create a bootable CD-ROM using | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | mkisofs -b dosboot.img -o dosboot.iso dosboot.img | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | and then burn the ISO image //dosboot.iso// to a recordable CD-ROM. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Burning the gPXE ROM ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Boot from the floppy disk (or CD-ROM). At the DOS //A:\>// prompt, type | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ibautil -restore -all | + | |
