====== Daniel Verkamp: COMBOOT Support ====== ===== Notes ===== ==== COMBOOT ==== * http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/Comboot_API * What should happen if/when a COMBOOT executable returns? Do any other image types ever return? ==== Development and Testing Environment ==== === QEMU === New option in QEMU 0.9.1: ''-bootp file advertise file in BOOTP replies'' Example command (modified contrib/bochs/qemu.sh): ''qemu -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -boot a -fda ../../src/bin/rtl8139.pdsk -bootp http://server/file.gpxe'' This way there is no need for TFTP or DHCP servers when testing in QEMU. === Real Hardware === Development machines: * "sequoia", Pentium 4 2.40 GHz, 1 GB RAM (Gentoo Linux) * "maple", Athlon X2 4200+, 2 GB RAM (Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit) Server machine (DHCP, HTTP, TFTP, etc.): * "pine", Pentium III 1.0 GHz, 256 MB RAM (Gentoo Linux) "Guinea pig" machines: * "tulip", Athlon XP 2100+, 768 MB RAM * "spruce", Pentium II, 256 MB RAM * Pentium 133 MHz, 16 MB RAM Network cards (PCI): * 3Com 3C905-TX (3C905-B) * Linksys LNE100TX (DEC 21140 based) * SMC EtherPower 10/100 9332DST (DEC 21140 based) * HP J2585B 10/100vg (not supported by Etherboot/gPXE; ancient :-) )
