[Etherboot-developers] Re: hacking pxelinux compatibility into etherboot

[Ken Y. <ke...@nl...>]

|something/pxelinux.bin.  If it finds that name, it will instead tftp the
|config-file something/pxelinux.cfg/(pxelinuxcfgfile*) and parse and use

From what I understand of PXE, this is only the tip of the iceberg. You
need callbacks to implement the whole of PXE. But if you just want to
parse a config file, that should be doable. Just make sure to #ifdef
your enhancements so that they are optional.
