iPXE as payload?

[Gert Menke]

Hi,

I would like to use iPXE as a secondary payload (rather than as option 
rom).
The advantage would be that iPXE would not need to be loaded on every 
boot, but I could still choose it in the SeaBIOS boot menu when I want 
to use it. Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks
Gert

Hi Gert,  Yes, it's possible.

In the coreboot payload menu, select
"[ ] Add a PXE ROM"

This opens up a new menu
"PXE Options --->"

In that menu, the top option is:
"PXE ROM to use (Add an existing PXE ROM image)  --->"
select that, and switch to
"( ) Build and add an iPXE ROM"

Select the version and the PCI IDs, then save and exit.

This will build iPXE option rom into the coreboot.rom file.
