[Etherboot-users] Boot pxelinux.0, then exit to local disk boot?

[Erik F. <for...@ce...>]

Hi!

I have a setup where machines with PXE-enabled network cards boot
pxelinux.0, which most often says "localboot 0" which means that the
PXE exits and the machine boots off disk. In some cases, the
instruction from PXE is different, when I want that machine to be
reinstalled. Then I boot off the network and run my installation
program. 

Now, I'd like to be able to do this for machines that are too old to
have a PXE-enabled network card. Hopefully without adding a physical
ROM to their network cards. 

Is there a way to configure etherboot so that it boots off disk, loads
pxelinux (or similar) via network and if pxelinux says so, boots the
operating system on the first hard disk partition? 

Cheers,
\EF
