Hi there,
ipxe works wonderfully for bare iron machines. However when trying to boot a vbox vm there are some issues (Host win7-x64, bridged networking, intel pro/1000 mt):

1) no networking
1.1) Boot with vbox's Intel UNDI PXE get an ip
1.1.1) load ipxe (any of: undionly.kpxe or undionly.kkpxe)
1.1.1.a) dhcp fails, logs on server side show: DHCPDISCOVER, DHCPOFFER but no DHCPREQEUST or DHCPACK
1.1.1.b) manual config with ifopen and set/ip set/netmask also produces no usable network

2) bluescreen when using wimboot
2.1) Boot with vbox's Intel UNDI PXE get an ip
2.1.2) load ipxe (any of: ipxe.pxe, ipxe.kpxe, ipxe.kkpxe) -> dhcp works, yay
2.1.3) load WinPE 3 with wimboot get bluescreen PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA

3) bluescreen when using wimboot with ipxe as replacement for vbox's Intel UNDI PXE
3.1) follow steps mentioned in src/config/vbox/README create intel.isarom
3.2) start vm with intel.isarom as pxe
3.3) dhcp works, try to load WinPE as in 2.1.3 -> same bluescreen

Hope this was not to confusing :-)
Cheers
