Thank you for your detailed reply, @george1421
I have decided to run both servers on the same network. With DHCP switched off on AikenWorkbench, I’m able to boot intoFOG menu.
Your entries aren’t quite right, or I’m doing something wrong. If I use it as is, I’m getting something like "Could not boot: Not found (https://ipxe.org2d12618e)
I have decided to exclude some of the commands and narrowed it down to:
chain -ar tftp://192.168.2.1/grub/bootx64.efi
boot || goto MENU
And I’m trying to run it on EFI EFI-capable machine, but I’m only getting to the grub console and no further.
I understand my best bet is to learn how iPXE works and study its documentation.
There is more config from Aken if this helps:
cat /etc/default/tftpd-hpa
TFTP_USERNAME="tftp"
TFTP_DIRECTORY="/awbcboot"
TFTP_ADDRESS="192.168.2.1:69"
TFTP_OPTIONS="--secure"
ls /awbcboot
bios biso boot grub
ls /awbcboot/grub
biso boot bootx32.efi bootx64.efi grub.cfg grub.cfg.bak snap unicode.pf2
And grub.cfg
cat grub.cfg
set default="0"
set timeout=0
menuentry 'Aiken Workbench V2 UEFI ...' --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (pxe)/boot/vmlinuz-awc root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${pxe_default_server}:/awbclient ip=dhcp rw libata.allow_tpm=1 --
initrd (pxe)/boot/initrd.img-awc
And here is the whole dhcp.conf but we don’t use Apple class as they dropped PXE support.
