UEFI sanboot local drive - thb - 2017-09-27 13:57

Hello,

With QEMU, I'm trying to boot directly on a local drive from iPXE with an UEFI binary but I always get the error:

Code:

iPXE> sanboot -n -d 0x80

Booting from SAN device 0x80

Boot from SAN device 0x80 failed: No such device (http://ipxe.org/2c222087)

I compile iPXE from source with

Code:

make bin-x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi

When I try with a bios version, it works fine. I'm probably missing something but I can't see what.

Any idea on how to do it ?

In efi you should probably try exit or exit 1 (the 1 to return a error to efi firmware) which should result in it trying to boot the next boot device.
There is no direct equivalent in efi since disk access is a completely different beast in EFI

Thank you, I'll try that.
