In 2013, I encountered for the first time with iPXE and use Debian Squeeze for locally build. Then enough to install these packages:

• apt-get install git
• apt-get install build-essential
• apt-get install syslinux
• apt-get install genisoimage
  

but iPXE since version Sat, 21 Feb 2015 16:29:53 +0200 {zbin} Use LZMA compression requires additional package:

• apt-get install liblzma-dev
  

That's all

I also found another BIOS S3 which operates iPXE background: 1-s3vgdx.bin




Alternative BIOS'es work but there are some minor problems with GRUB in graphics mode. When you start the Debian Live in graphics mode e.g. vga=789 800x600 is a black screen during:

• 3,05 minutes when VGA bios is 86c375_3.bin
• 4,05 minutes when VGA bios is 1-s3vgdx.bin
  

In text mode, I have not noticed any problems

Debian terminal console installed on disk in graphics mode have problem clear/refresh screen:

I found it: GRUB gfxpayload

Quote:Depending on your kernel, your distribution, your graphics card, and the phase of the moon, note that using this option may cause GNU/Linux to suffer from various display problems, particularly during the early part of the boot sequence. If you have problems, set this variable to ‘text’ and GRUB will tell Linux to boot in normal text mode.

To resolve this problem simply need increase GRUB menu timeout from 5 to 6 seconds:

Code:

    nano /etc/default/grub

    change GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 to 6
    
    update-grub
    reboot

Strange, but one second helps

Other problems have not noticed. Any operating system is working properly

Probably replacing VGA BIOS can also be used in Hyper-V
