Record of some of the computer tech I deal with so that it's documented at least somewhere.

PXE booting QEMU in Debian

The PXE booting in Debian QEMU is broken

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=412010

You need the pxe-* files from http://trac.kju-app.org/browser/trunk/qemu/qemu/pc-bios?rev=106

and put them in /usr/share/qemu

That's all well and good but it uses QEMU's DHCP values for the TFTP server etc. so you need *another* qemu running as the TFTP server and that's not what I want.

So, next step is trying gpxe, so it's off to http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/ and got the all-drivers version.

Dammit, I can get 9pxeload working but not bootp so I get boot from ether0 but it can't see 10.0.0.9 from 10.0.2.2

bah
