Hi,
I tried using iPXE over a serial line using a menu.
The output looks garbled and input like using arrow keys does not seem to work.
Is this a tested and supported set-up?
Here what I patched:
src/config/console.h
-//#define CONSOLE_PCBIOS /* Default BIOS console */
-//#define CONSOLE_SERIAL /* Serial port */
+#define CONSOLE_PCBIOS /* Default BIOS console */
+#define CONSOLE_SERIAL /* Serial port */
src/config/serial.h
-#undef COMPRESERVE
+#define COMPRESERVE
and how I §compiled:
cd src
make bin/undionly.kpxe
The menu:
menu Please choose an operating system to boot
item shell Enter iPXE shell
item info Show info
item config Edit config
item exit Exit to BIOS
item --gap Operating systems:
item --key f fedora Fedora Linux
choose --default exit --timeout 30000 target && goto ${target}
I used console redirection to serial by the BIOS.
I get the impression that not all escape-codes are received unharmed by my
terminal (xterm and OSX Terminal).
Maybe there is an simplified menu I could use to avoid curses-like screens
like grub's dumb mode?
