iPXE booting latest PCengines alu board

Fri Jun 13 09:52:30 UTC 2014

Please try mfsbsd based on current (r266655):

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/socsvn/soc2014/kczekirda/pxe-fai-head/tools/mfsbsd-11.0-CURRENT-r266655-amd64.iso?view=co

example:

iPXE> dhcp
iPXE> kernel http://volt.iem.pw.edu.pl/~czekirdk/memdisk iso
iPXE> http://svnweb.freebsd.org/socsvn/soc2014/kczekirda/pxe-fai-head/tools/mfsbsd-11.0-CURRENT-r266655-amd64.iso?view=co

Be careful, in second line I changed raw to iso.

Regards,
Kamil
