I tried creating a ROM to flash my Intel PRO/1000 MT NIC with gPXE a wireless boot but I get stuck at creating a Boot Disk. I configured it on Ubuntu 11. Below are the steps I use/d:lspci02:06.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)lspci -n -s 02:06.0 02:06.0 0200: 8086:100e (rev 02) #etherboot :http://etherboot.org/ <gpxe1user> gpxebot: lspci 8086:100e <gpxebot> e1000_82540I downloaded the gpxe src and compiled it. I can create working ISO's with it and can boot wirelessly with an embedded script. I used a CD. Now I want to flash the ROM on my NIC with this script.cd Downloads/gpxe/src make bin/8086100e.rom EMBEDDED_IMAGE=wireless.gpxe wireless.gpxe file contents: #!gpxe set net0/ssid MYWIFIAP set net0/key MYWIFIKEY autoboot cp bin/8086100e.rom bin/8086100e.iba # This is done to refresh with a clean "dosboot.img" cp /home/myfolder/Downloads/dosboot.img . mcopy -i dosboot.img bin/8086100e.iba :: # IBAUtil.exe was automatically extracted when I downloaded PROBOOT.exe mcopy -i dosboot.img /home/myfolder/Downloads/APPS_intel/IBAUtil.exe :: For USB stick, do this: sudo dd if=dosboot.img of=/dev/sdc1 USB stick contents: 8086100e.iba AUTOEXEC.BAT (0 bytes) COMMAND.COM CONFIG.SYS (0 bytes) IBAUtil.exe KERNEL.SYS For CD, do this, then burn ISO: mkisofs -b dosboot.img -o dosboot.iso dosboot.img CD contents after burning the ISO: boot.cat dosboot.imgNeither USB stick nor CD work when booting. The screen is just black with a blinking underscore. I've tried them both on several machines. What can I do to get around this?
Everything looks good except... What is 'dosboot.img'? Where does it come from? Does its vendor suggest that it can be DDd to any USB stick and that it should be expected to work with any BIOS?
