This is quite manual, and only really useful for testing if physical (or virtual) hardware is working as intended. You haven't really specified exactly what kind of testing you're doing.

I would say a virtual environment with a couple of VMs for different purposes is the best approach if your intent is to test deployment scenarios with different iPXE scripts and such. It should be possible to automate most of it as you can actually get serial output from most VMs which should allow you to create automated tests against the content in the VM log files (for the BIOS part of your test phase). >> Last but not least, does anyone knows about a tool which generates >> packets according to what it received?
