is there a public omnios ipxe url or do I need to roll my own?

There isn't one, but we could get one set up if you can provide the pieces.

Please do that even if you roll your own

andyf I want to install omnios using pxe, but seems there is a problem on virtioscsi/sd driver so I want to debug this in bloody

I just tried to boot bloody in oracle cloud but seems the virtioscsi fix is not there

andyf seeems to be this smartos.topicbox.com/groups/smartos…s-does-virtio-scsi-driver-supported

bloody might not have been rebuilt since that got integrated into upstream illumos

smartos.org/bugview/OS-8418 maybe is the same trouble in omniosce

→ OS-8418: vioscsi needs driver_alias and name_to_major entries (Resolved)

there will be a fresh bloody in a few hours time though

andyf thanks!, I'll check for that one then

and I think ipxe would be good, just nobody has contributed it yet :)

I'd be happy to help create ipxe.omnios.org or whatever

andyf that would be great!, smartos uses a custom ipxe, omnios should do the same?

andyf I don't know if this is still accurate omnios.org/setup/pxe , but I just was using the netboot.smartos.org/smartos.ipxe file except for this TritonDataCenter/ipxe #18

I've never done anything with ipxe so I don't know. I think there's a blog post from ptribble somewhere

thanks!, I'll read that

btw, why dont you use loader for pxe boot?

just curious

tsoome I did not know it was possible? how do you use it for pxe boot?

for bios boot, you have pxeboot, for uefi, you use the loader64.efi; boot program itself is loaded over tftp (as ipxe), /boot and OS files can be provided via tftp or nfs (we do not yet support http)

root path can be specified as: option root-path "nfs://192.168.150.146/export/osroot" or option root-path "tftp://192.168.150.146/"

tsoome thanks!

if it helps to save some time:)

(it would still be nice to have ipxe option)
