I used to have this working using grub. It is no different from booting linux using TFTP and Grub, however the problem with Grub is that last time I looking network driver support for modern cards was limited. In the end I made things work using an experimental patch which added UNDI support, where the BIOS supplies the driver for the network card, but the patch made Grub rather flaky. There is nothing special about TFTP-booting Xen with Grub, the same rules apply as when booting Xen from disk with Grub. Find some howto on TFTP-booting, and adapt it to use Xen instead of e.g. Linux. Good luck, Jacob _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
