David Anderson 029be8d339 Force machines to chainload through Pixiecore's embedded iPXE.
This guarantees that we load the real OS from an iPXE with a known
featureset, rather than rely on the firmware iPXEs to be correct.

Also switch to ipxe.pxe for BIOS boots instead of undionly.kpxe.

ipxe.pxe works when you chainload from one iPXE to another, whereas
undionly.kpxe encounters some kind of poorly explained bug where
it loses the ability to configure networking.

Tested against the following configurations:
 - VirtualBox + BIOS w/ iPXE
 - VirtualBox + BIOS w/ Intel UNDI
 - VirtualBox + EFI
 - KVM + SeaBIOS w/ iPXE
 - KVM + OVMF (EFI)
 - Dell R610 + Dell BIOS/PXE

Fixes #51, fixes #52.

Netboot, packages and utilities for network booting

license Travis api

This repository contains Go implementations of network protocols used in booting machines over the network, as well as software that make use of those implementations.

This is not an official Google project.

The canonical import path for Go packages in this repository is go.universe.tf/netboot.

Libraries

  • pcap: Pure Go implementation of reading and writing pcap files.
  • dhcp4: DHCPv4 library providing the low-level bits of a DHCP client/server (packet marshaling, RFC-compliant packet transmission semantics).
  • tftp: Read-only TFTP server implementation.
  • pixiecore: the functionality of Pixiecore (see below), in library form. Every stability warning in this repository applies double for this package.

Programs

  • Pixiecore: an all-in-one tool for easy netbooting.
