-23 directories, 60 files +Problem faced is,\\ 
-$ +it successfully downloads the //​pxelinux.0//​ and executes it, 
 +but it fails when it is downloading pxelinux.cfg/​default\\ 
 +It gives an error saying 
 +<​code>​ 
 +TFTP prefix: tftp://​10.0.2.2//​ 
 +Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/​default 
 +Unable to locate configuration file
  
 +Boot failed: press a key to retry, or wait for reset...
 </​code>​ </​code>​
 +
 +
 +Note : There are some versions of qemu for which network boot option did not worked.
 +<​code>​
 +$ qemu -net nic -net user -boot n -hda ./​testing.img -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /​home/​minix-pravin/​Etherboot/​v2/​pxeknife/​pxeknife/ ​
 +No valid PXE rom found for network device
 +</​code>​
 +Above error came for qemu version 0.9.1
 +<​code>​
 +$ qemu
 +QEMU PC emulator version 0.9.1, Copyright (c) 2003-2008 Fabrice Bellard
 +</​code>​
 +
 +But if you provide gpxe.dsk instead of ./​testing.img it uses gpxe.dsk stack and boots properly.
 +<​code>​
 +$ qemu -net nic -net user -fda ./gpxe.dsk -bootp /pxelinux.0 -tftp /​home/​minix-pravin/​Etherboot/​v2/​pxeknife/​pxeknife/ ​
