Need of iPXE boot in VirtualBox using a ROM with HTTP support

[q2dg]

Well...this thread is talking EXACTLY about this issue: http://lists.ipxe.org/pipermail/ipxe-dev...02166.html

Thanks to it I've seen there is a problem with compiled ROM size: in logs of my VM it says:

DevPcBios: Failed to open LAN boot ROM file '/home/myusername/ipxe/src/bin/8086100e.isarom', rc=VERR_TOO_MUCH_DATA!

...and in https://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/blob/HEAD:...box/README I can read "Max size of a VirtualBox ROM is 56KB, 57344 bytes", when my compiled ROM exceeds 60KB.

So...I will keep going...

I've solved!!

I've added to ipxe/src/config/vbox/general.h these two lines for disabling TFTP and DNS:

#undef DOWNLOAD_PROTO_TFTP
#undef DNS_RESOLVER

and I've got a compiled ROM of just just 57344 bytes. And it works! Yeah!!
