RE: GRUB2 netboot development

[Rudy Attias]

Netboot is taking a different direction? I'm curious about that, can you
give some details?

yes, this is right, this function is not implemented anywhere. I have
published grub2_netboot_8.tgz on my website so that you can have a look.
The module tg3.mod compiles successfully but I did not test it. By the
way, this is not c++ but c (although with a nice object oriented
design)!

I hope it will work, but if it does not, I think we should not worry too
much about that for the moment as the netboot development is taking
quite a different direction now.

Cheers!
