[Etherboot-developers] AoE boot disk without DHCP?

[Brian K. <ko...@wu...>]

I would like to build a simple gPXE AoE boot floppy (or CD) that would
work without having to get an IP address from a DHCP server since AoE
doesn't need to have an IP address anyway.

I've got the following script:

#!gpxe
sanboot aoe:e10.0

By embedding this image:

make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=script bin/xxxxxx.rom

I could get it to work via autoboot (autoboot.c), but only if the dhcp
request that's in netboot() is successful.  

My hacky way of fixing this was to put boot_embedded_image() before
dhcp() and right after the ifstat() in netboot().

So my question: Is there a way to get gPXE to do what I want without
having to modify the source?  If not, any ideas on a less hacky way of
doing this in the code... I'd be happy to try my hand at a patch.

Thanks,
Brian
