[Etherboot-discuss] Question for the setup of AOE boot

[Isaac H. <is4...@ms...>]

I am trying to test the AOE boot build recommended by James Harper. I =
have made a pcnet32 build and turn it into a floppy disk image for =
vmware. I have setup one vmware instance to boot from this floppy disk =
image and get network setup as VNET8. I have also setup and started a =
vmware instance with AOE server that will expose an AOE drive to VNET8. =
(I can verify the server is up and running ok with a client machine). I =
then started the vmware instance with etherboot floppy. It turns out =
that the etherboot floppy try to download boot image through TFTP and =
then failed. I did not have a TFTP server setup but I assume this AOE =
build should try to boot directly from an AOE drive. Is this assumption =
correct? I appreciate if anyone can advise what will be the right setup =
for the AOE boot. Thanks...
