Netboot works in grub2, but only using the PXE protocol. If you don't have a PXE BIOS on your NIC then you are out of luck.

I.e., . supports current network hardware with self-contained drivers . does not require PXE hardware . does not require any other software I see this article in this forum talking about some plans http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2006-05/msg00058.html and this one more recently http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2008-01/msg00640.html - but they are all years ago ... Or - is there any kind of netboot functionality in GRUB2 or being worked on by anyone? John Lumby
