14:42:38 <neirac> is there a public omnios ipxe url or do I need to roll my own?
14:46:02 <andyf> There isn't one, but we could get one set up if you can provide the pieces.
14:46:09 <andyf> Please do that even if you roll your own
15:07:26 <neirac> 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 
15:08:14 <neirac> I just tried to boot bloody in oracle cloud but seems the virtioscsi fix is not there 
15:10:27 <neirac> andyf seeems to be this https://smartos.topicbox.com/groups/smartos-discuss/Tf6d75791857d0608-M1f832b4ada893646d252246b/disks-not-visible-on-vps-does-virtio-scsi-driver-supported
15:11:10 <andyf> bloody might not have been rebuilt since that got integrated into upstream illumos
15:11:10 <neirac> https://smartos.org/bugview/OS-8418 maybe is the same trouble in omniosce
15:11:12 <fenix> → OS-8418: vioscsi needs driver_alias and name_to_major entries (Resolved)
15:11:27 <andyf> there will be a fresh bloody in a few hours time though
15:11:54 <neirac> andyf thanks!, I'll check for that one then
15:16:29 <andyf> and I think ipxe would be good, just nobody has contributed it yet :)
15:16:36 <andyf> I'd be happy to help create ipxe.omnios.org or whatever
15:20:00 <neirac> andyf that would be great!, smartos uses a custom ipxe, omnios should do the same?
15:24:13 <neirac> andyf I don't know if this is still accurate https://omnios.org/setup/pxe , but I just was using the netboot.smartos.org/smartos.ipxe file except for this https://github.com/TritonDataCenter/ipxe/issues/18
15:26:34 <andyf> I've never done anything with ipxe so I don't know. I think there's a blog post from ptribble somewhere
15:27:36 <andyf> https://ptribble.blogspot.com/2020/12/installing-omnios-on-vultr-with-ipxe.html
15:29:00 <neirac> thanks!, I'll read that
16:48:20 <tsoome> btw, why dont you use loader for pxe boot?
16:48:33 <tsoome> just curious
16:49:36 <neirac> tsoome I did not know it was possible? how do you use it for pxe boot?
16:51:44 <tsoome> 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)
16:54:24 <tsoome> 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/" 
17:00:16 <neirac> tsoome thanks!
17:01:16 <tsoome> if it helps to save some time:) 
17:02:07 <tsoome> (it would still be nice to have ipxe option)
