About EtherBoot

- -

Etherboot is a software package for creating ROM -images that can download code over an Ethernet network to be -executed on an x86 computer. Many network adapters have a socket -where a ROM chip can be installed. Etherboot is code that can be -put in such a ROM. Etherboot is normally used for for booting PCs -diskless. This is useful in various situations, for example:

- -
    -
  • An X-terminal.
    • - -
  • Clusters of compute servers.
    • - -
  • Routers.
    • - -
  • Various kinds of remote servers, e.g. a tape drive server that -can be accessed with the RMT protocol.
    • - -
  • Machines doing tasks in environments unfriendly to disks.
    • - -
  • A user platform where remote partitions are mounted over the -network and you are willing to accept the lower speed compared to -disk.
    • - -
  • Maintaining software for a cluster of equally configured -workstations centrally.
    • -
- -

Etherboot can boot computers faster than from a disk -because there are no delays in spinning up disks, etc. A moment's -calculation will show that even with a 10Mbit Ethernet, sending a -500kB kernel will take only a couple of seconds typically. With -100Mbit Ethernet it gets even better.

- -

Compared to booting from solid-state devices, e.g. -Flash disks, Etherboot has the advantage of centralising software -adminstration, the tradeoff being the dependence on a server. This -can be partly alleviated by providing redundant servers.

- -

Etherboot can work with RAM disks, NFS filesystems, -or even local disks, if desired. It's a component technology and -can be combined with other technologies to do things the way you -want.

- -

Etherboot is usually used to load Linux, FreeBSD or -DOS. However the protocol and boot file formats are general, so -there is no reason why it could not be used to load arbitrary -images to a PC, including other OSes.

- -

Etherboot is Open Source under the GNU General Public -License Version 2 (GPL2).

- -

The components needed by Etherboot are

- -
    -
  • A bootstrap loader, usually in an EPROM on a network card, or -installed in the flash BIOS, but could be put anywhere in the -address space the BIOS probes in. For testing this could be put on -a floppy disk or a hard disk partition. Some configurations may -even be always run from a floppy disk (e.g. temporary testing -setups or pedagogic uses).
    • - -
  • A DHCP or bootp server, for returning an IP address and other -information when sent a MAC (Ethernet card) address.
    • - -
  • A tftp server, for sending the kernel images and other files -required in the boot process. Alternatively, Etherboot can boot -from an NFS mount.
    • - -
  • A Linux or FreeBSD kernel.
    • - -
  • Optionally, a NFS server, for providing the disk partitions -that will be mounted if Linux or FreeBSD is being booted.
    • - -
  • Optionally, a RAM disk contained in the loaded image. This can -be the initial RAM disk if desired.
    • - -
  • Software tools for building the download image, and tools for -debugging.
