Quick Start Example not Working

[robinsmidsrod]

That content seems correct, so it is probably your local setup or the way you start iPXE that is wrong.

If you download http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.iso or http://boot.ipxe.org/ipxe.usb and put it on CD or USB and boot you should be getting a display where you can press Ctrl-B to get a shell.

Once you're in the shell you should type

Code:

dhcp

(and press enter) to get an address from your local DHCP server.

If that responds okay (you can use the

Code:

config

command to see if you got an address and such) you can continue typing in a command like this:

Code:

chain http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php

That should boot the demo and you should be getting to a Linux environment. If that doesn't work, please report back.
