I use the PXE Base Code stuff in the firmware to let the machine do dhcp and load a boot loader/kernel over the network using tftp. The tftp stuff in the firmware, however, requires some extension to the tftp protocol. I've submitted a PR, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=30710 which fixes this in the FreeBSD tftpd. Currently I am doing a "port" of grub to use efi, utilizing the gnu efi library (see attachment) and implementing an efi driver for attaching a filesystem protocol on top of tftp. This should allow you to easily copy files over to the IA-64 hardrive using tftp (without booting the system), and also makes my envisioned grub port much more generic. (No, I do not need GRUB for doing any FreeBSD work, but I'm not really looking much into the FreeBSD IA-64 kernel. I'm just following the mailing list, and GRUB is a pretty convenient thing to use for testing out different setups.) eSk [-- Attachment #2 --] # This is a shell archive.
