Hello

Anyone had some success netbooting an iMac?
The thing uses BSDP, a set of DHCP extensions, for that. dhcpd can be 
configured for that, but I'm unable to boot something else than MacOS X.

I have this in dhcpd.conf:

class "AppleNBI-i386" {
  match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = "AAPLBSDPC/i386";
  option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,17,43,60;

  if (option dhcp-message-type = 1)
    { option vendor-class-identifier "AAPLBSDPC/i386"; }

  if (option dhcp-message-type = 1)
    { option vendor-encapsulated-options 08:04:81:00:00:67; }

  # The Apple Boot Loader binary image. will TFTP the kernel and extensions
  filename "macnbi-i386/boot.efi";

  # NB: path len should be short enough
  # option root-path "http://server/image.dmg";
  # option root-path "nfs:server:/image.dmg";
}

The key point is boot.efi. I tried:
MacOS X's boot.efi, from /System/Library/CoreServices -> will boot MacOS X
rEFIt's refit.efi -> loops reloading refit.efi over TFTP
NetBSD's pxeboot_ia32_amd64.bin -> loops reloading it
GRUB's grub.efi -> loops reloading it

Anyone had more success?
