This might better belong on -questions, this isn't the most technical question, but it is obscure...

I've recently been loaned an eval server indirectly from intel. It is an SR-2400. We've been using SR-2300s for a while now and have been doing custom network installs via PXE.

I note that these new servers have ia32 EFI support and that the only net-booting they support is via EFI. I can DHCP boot the box via the EFI boot manager menu that comes up, I get an address and it tftp's a file from the right server but of course the pxeboot bootfile doesn't work. I downloaded the indel EFI SDK and it has some sample EFI binaries (a test binary, one that draws some cute little boxes on the screen etc) and I can boot and run those just fine...

I understand that EFI netbooting works fine on (was designed to work on?) ia64 boxes - is there support for netbooting via EFI on ia32?

I see /usr/src/sys/boot/EFI - can I somehow build a loader.efi that would work via netboot for ia32?

Thanks in advance for any help...
