iPXE NetBoot network

In NetBoot I have `ipconfig: no devices to configure` and `can't open '/tmp/net-*.conf': no such file or directory` errors make it falling back to RootFS. How to avoid that?

Re: iPXE NetBoot network

I have `ipconfig: no devices to configure`

Pretty self explanatory

`can't open '/tmp/net-*.conf': no such file or directory`

As above
Could you please better elborate on this?
How are you trying to set-up the PXE environment?

Anyway, this works like a charm inside my home LAN: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Preboo … #Pixiecore

Re: iPXE NetBoot network

I got an IP from DHCP, just after the EFI managed to download immediately some files to boot... To finally land on RootFS...

I've got plenty of memory and no errors related to it
