iPXE discussion forum

Hi

I am using PXELINUX 6.03 with wimboot 2.4.1 and I am loading my image with this commands from pxelinux.cfg\default:

com32 linux.c32
append wimboot initrdfile=bootmgr.exe,boot/BCD,boot/boot.sdi,boot/boot.wim

When loading this option, I do not see any progress in percentage when wimboot is encapsulating the big boot.wim file. It just says "OK" after a minute.

How can I display a progress in percentage or a progress bar?

I think this has already been answered in IRC, but for the record:

Use iPXE to load wimboot, BCD, boot.sdi, and boot.wim directly. That will show you a progress indication, and will also speed up the download from over a minute to just a few seconds (assuming that you are using HTTP on a Gigabit LAN).
