It seems that 2KB rather than 4KB:

Quote:The BIOS Boot Specification (BBS) requires that option ROMs be aligned to 2kB boundaries (e.g. segments C800, C880, C900, C980, etc.).

MS VPC 2007 SP1 has limited PCI Option ROM to 64KB - probably this is AMI BIOS limit: Adding gPXE to an AMI BIOS
ARGON can be replaced to iPXE in two ways:

• replacing resource 13502
  
• adding option ROM ID 20 in MMTool Lite 2.22.1beta to resource 13500 and deleting resource 13502
  
  

This also applies to gPXE. This tutorial should be fixed:

Quote:( Inside the “Microsoft Virtual PC” executable you can find an AMIBIOS resource which can also be modified with AMIBIOS modification utilities.
But there are huge restrictions:

never try any Option ROM / Extension ROM experiments –> after the modification Microsoft's Virtual PC hangs while P.O.S.T.
Virtual PC is generally just for Windows. )
