hi, how can I boot the triton/smartos installer on the head node over pxe on an efi system? all the ipxe configs that I could find, like the one on us-central.manta.mnx.io/Joyent_Dev/public/SmartDataCenter/triton.html or netboot.smartos.org/triton-installer/triton-installer.ipxe just serve an elf kernel which ipxe won't load on an efi system because it's not an efi binary. I would

use the dvd but the server is a hp box and the ilo is on a management network that isn't connected to the internet and streaming 4.4 GB over a websocket over a vpn is seriously slow...

snponly.efi or ipxe.efi but I'm not exactly sure about the location (is it in ipxe-release-20260122-20260122T041233Z-gb8f2d08.tgz?)

doesn't seem to be in the tgz

I did try ipxe.efi from ipxe.org but that also can only load an efi app

but tsoome is gone :)

tsoome: I tried chain-loading boot.ipxe.org/x86_64-efi/ipxe.efi but that doesn't help, the kernel is still a solaris elf and in uefi mode only efi apps can be loaded. trying to load an elf gives exec format error ipxe.org/err/2e0080

ipxe.org version does not help, it does not know how to deal with illumos kernel.

indeed

the point being you need the special version of ipxe mentioned above.

I figured that out

Thanks @tsoome and @jlevon.
