Shao Miller is developing HTTPDisk which makes disk images over HTTP available of INT 13H block devices using the Range header: http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/andytim/gpxe.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/httpdisk I am working on NFSv3 over TCP support in gPXE. This should allow netbooting straight from an NFS root (e.g. read-only live CD contents): http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/stefanha/gpxe.git;a=commit;h=89007585c623f9c291e3ddac194616d8b9321a67 Both HTTPDisk and NFSv3 are experimental but usable. In the meantime, I will look into a proper fix for the ramdisk memory map issue :). Stefan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
