ipxe to boot solaris

[bentley_xu]

I used pxeboot for solaris install,Press F12 get bootfile then read menu.lst for installation.But now I wanna avoid the step “open console and press F12”.So I use ipxe.

My way is :

Write below to grub
Kernel /platform/i86pc/ipxe.krn dhcp && chain http:$ip/pxegrub.0

You could know it trun back to the same result with the step “press F12”,both call pxegrub.0,but it will fail when using ipxe way.

You need to avoid calling pxegrub at all, as I believe that is the tool that asks you to press F12.

As mentioned in http://cuddletech.com/?p=779 you'll need to keep the full path to the the kernel and ramdisk including /platform/i86pc/kernel/amd64/unix and /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive.
