==== QEMU option ROM ==== === Building the ROM image === Check which network adapter is configured for the VM. Here are the adapters supported by QEMU 0.11.0 [from a QEMU on Fedora 12 (i686) installation]: ^ QEMU NIC 'model' ^ PCI Vendor ID ^ PCI Device ID ^ Mfr Name ^ Device Name ^ Notes ^ | rtl8139 | 10ECh | 8139h | Realtek | RTL8139C+ Fast Ethernet Adapter | **Default in QEMU v0.11.0** | | ne2k_pci | 10ECh | 8029h | Realtek | RTL-8029(AS) | Default in prior versions? | | i82551 | 8086h | 1209h | Intel | 82551ER/IT Fast Ethernet | | | i82557b | 8086h | 1229h | Intel | 82557 10/100Mbps Ethernet | | | i82559er | 8086h | 1209h | Intel | 82559ER Fast Ethernet | | | pcnet | 1022h | 2000h | AMD | AM79C970 Ethernet Adapter | | | e1000 | 8086h | 100Eh | Intel | 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Ctrlr | | \\ Build the appropriate ROM image: cd gpxe/src make bin/10ec8029.rom # for ns8390 10ec:8029 === Running QEMU === The **-option-rom** command-line option tells QEMU to use the gPXE ROM: qemu -option-rom /path/to/10ec8029.rom /dev/null This example runs a default VM with no disks and allows you to press Ctrl+B to enter gPXE.
