I want to mess around archlinux in a virtual machine. Usually I would download the latest archiso, attach it to the VM and boot into the Live Image and go from there.
But this time, I want to explore how to do this using netboot. Did anyone manage to install archlinux via netbooting on a VirtualMachine? Possibly using UEFI?
What I tried so far:
created a raw virtual disk image (with a single FAT32 formatted, MBR partition)
copied the ipxe-arch.efi file (from this link) to the newly created partition
converted disk image to .vmdk
booted into UEFI shell and executed the .efi
gets stuck at "iPXE initialising devices..."
Am I attempting something that is not really supported? Or going into the right direction? What else can I try?
