Hi all, I successfully been using gPXE to sanboot windows xp, 2003, and RHEL 5.x clients for several months. Thanks for a great project and an awesome community. Using san-boot-conf in the windows environment works great and I can change ethernet ports (my client hardware has four adapters) and still boot without a problem. However, RH hard codes the MAC address (and IP's and LUN, etc) into the initrd image, which forces a manual edit of the init script to change the boot adapter. There is one page on the wiki which briefly discusses uses iBFT in an initrd image (http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/ibft) but the code on sourceforge downloads an invalid archive. Google indicates that using iBFT is possible, but nobody gives any examples or details the required modules to include in the initrd image. Any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for a great project.
