Hook INT18 for IBM servers?

I see that back in December Glenn Brown pointed out that for IBM servers in Etherboot, he changed the hook to INT18 to iret to make it behave normally under IBM BIOS (which does not support BBS). I don't see gPXE having any config mechanism to build to hook INT18 instead of INT19. I changed it to hook INT18, but I couldn't figure out the right way to iret (all my attempts just hung). If it calls INT18 or INT19 to exit, it ends poorly (looping/hanging). At least when I hooked INT18, it was able to be moved around by the BIOS setup menu instead of forcing itself to boot first every time, though getting to a boot device past that I couldn't figure out due to the whole iret aspect. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
