Two other discussions that might give some insights. So you will need to build ipxe for your nic, something like Now the ROM is likely limited in size so you will have to make the iPXE build absolutely minimal, vbox is a good base, but you might have to drop every feature other than the absolute minimal, the features banner you see at start is what you should be removing to begin with, and then the question will be, what will you be using this for? Should you keep Linux kernel boot support, or PXE support etc. |

Actually I'm working with a 486/Pentium and retrocomputing and this would be useful for a MS-DOS or Win95 remote boot. |
|
So then you want to keep PXE and TFTP, remove everything else, and then chain to a fuller image. |
|
As I said, I'm working with retrocomputing old hardware and software and a diskless machine would be interesting for MS-DOS and Win3.1/Win95 software. |

You build the driver that you need as I described above, build it for floppy or something else first that you can use to verify that what you need is working. Verify that you can boot the things you need, or chain to a full ipxe.pxe or undionly.kpxe. If this don't work, then the ROM won't work either. |

How can I build a floppy image? I already build the entire project but the /src/bin doesn't show any .IMG file. |
|
Hi. I've just successful made a floppy image and the 486 now can boot the iPXE but it hangs at this: Any tips? |
|
The CPU is a Cyrix 5x86-S 100MHz. Very similar to a 486. |
Uh oh!

Hi. I have an RTL8019AS ISA Ethernet adaptor with socket for EEPROM and I would like to dowload the .bin file to burn the chip with PXE.
How can I do it?
