Haiku PXE boot is now able to load and execute the kernel, however as it doesn't mount a boot device yet, it will end with a PANIC. In case anyone also wants to work on this, I made a small howto. You need a network card BIOS that supports booting by PXE, but most modern cards do that. First you need to setup a TFTP and DHPC server (not the client) With Ubuntu, I used the following packages: tftpd-hpa dhcp3-server xinetd On my LAN, 10.0.0.1 is the gateway router and DHCP server, the computers are configured to use static IPs ins the range 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.100 Configure /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf, i used: option domain-name "internal.overhagen.de"; option domain-name-servers 10.0.0.1; authoritative; log-facility local7; subnet 10.0.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 10.0.0.200 10.0.0.250; filename "pxehaiku"; } Create a /tftpboot directory Create a file called tftp inside directory /etc/xinitd.d with the following content: service tftp { disable = no socket_type = dgram protocol = udp wait = yes user = root server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -vvv -s /tftpboot } start / restart dhcp3 server and xinetd server. cd /develop/haiku or wherever you haiku is located, and execute the following: TARGET_BOOT_PLATFORM=pxe_ia32 jam pxehaiku-loader TARGET_BOOT_PLATFORM=pxe_ia32 jam pxehaiku jam remote_disk_server jam haiku-image cp generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/system/boot/pxehaiku-loader /tftpboot/ cp generated/objects/haiku/x86/release/system/boot/platform/pxe_ia32/pxehaiku /tftpboot/ Run the remote disk server: generated/objects/linux/x86/release/tools/remote_disk_server/remote_disk_server generated/haiku.image Setup the BIOS on the client machine to use PXE booting from LAN, and restart it. hth Marcus Viel oder wenig?
