ROM firmware is optional now
ROM firmware is optional now and should be used only by user choice. It should be named as 'FirmwareName.isarom' placed under 'drivers/' directory. In the same directory placed an example firmware and some information.

# iPXE - open source boot firmware for VirtualBox
|
||||
|
||||
This is a prebuilt binary version of **iPXE** as an **VirtualBox PXE ROM**.
|
||||
|
||||
The **iPXE** source code is maintained in a git repository. You can check out a copy of the code using:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and build it using:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cd ipxe/src
|
||||
make
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You will need to have at least the following packages installed in order to build **iPXE**:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
* gcc (version 3 or later)
|
||||
* binutils (version 2.18 or later)
|
||||
* make
|
||||
* perl
|
||||
* syslinux (for isolinux, only needed for building .iso images)
|
||||
* liblzma or xz header files
|
||||
* zlib, binutils and libiberty header files (only needed for EFI builds)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
to build this **Intel 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet PXE ROM** for VirtualBox use:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
make CONFIG=vbox bin/8086100e.isarom
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Max size of a VirtualBox ROM is 56KB (57344 bytes).
|
||||
There should be no need to pad the image as long as the binary is smaller or equal to this size.
|
||||
|
||||
To use the ROM in VirtualBox you need to enable it using this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
vboxmanage setextradata global VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/LanBootRom \
|
||||
/absolute/path/to/8086100e.isarom
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
NB: If you build the ROM using the .rom prefix then it'll be built as a PCI
|
||||
ROM, which won't work properly in VirtualBox. The error message you'll see
|
||||
is "No more network devices", which is somewhat confusing. If you enter the
|
||||
shell and use the "autoboot" command things will work as intended. Remember
|
||||
to always build as a .isarom to avoid this issue.
|
||||
|
||||
You can find **iPXE** at the official site of the project: <http://ipxe.org/>.
