qemu ships a pxe option rom for virtio-net, so that should work just fine. Note that you need to boot from the network for the pxe rom being active, i.e. load grub via pxe. This is different from the UEFI case where the virtio-net SNP driver will be available no matter what, i.e. even when loading grub from disk or cdrom. take care, Gerd _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
