[Etherboot-developers] Etherboot modifications to achieve pxeboot based booting [PATCH]

[Rohit J. <ro...@pr...>]

Greetings,
	
	I have hacked the following files to provide limited PXE Emulation
support.

	Attached herewith are patches to enable netbooting of FreeBSD via 
the pxeboot mechanism using etherboot-5.0.4 on all (etherboot-5.0.4) supported
ethernet cards.

	To enable, compile the utilities in /sys/boot/i386 with the enviorment
variable `ETHERBOOT_PXEEMU' set. Compile etherboot with `FREEBSD_PXEEMU'
defined in the Config file.

	Also attached is a sample bootptab for your reference.

Files touched:
			etherboot-5.0.4/src/Config
			etherboot-5.0.4/src/main.c
			etherboot-5.0.4/src/misc.c
			etherboot-5.0.4/src/etherboot.h
			etherboot-5.0.4/src/linux-asm-string.h
			etherboot-5.0.4/src/osdep.h
			etherboot-5.0.4/src/start32.S

			/sys/boot/i386/btx/btx/Makefile
			/sys/boot/i386/btx/btx/btx.s
			/sys/boot/i386/btx/lib/Makefile
			/sys/boot/i386/btx/lib/btxsys.s
			/sys/boot/i386/btx/lib/btxv86.h
			/sys/boot/i386/libi386/Makefile
			/sys/boot/i386/libi386/pxe.c
			/sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/Makefile
			/sys/boot/i386/pxeldr/pxeldr.s
			
			
Please note! This works only with FreeBSD pxeldr style btx clients.
