To be fair: "cd src ; make" would have built you the exact bin/ipxe.pxe target that I already suggested using.
Sure, but my point was that normally, such a binary would only be of interest for just some quick test/demo/debugging puposes, because hardly anyone would want to burn an image containing support for all possible controllers with all possible boot protocols for everyday use, therefore a consistent step-by-step instruction for building a typical custom image containing some selected features would be helpfull, I was certainly expecting something like that near the top of main page.
Debug builds are fairly specialised (and not something that most users
This is true.
will need), debugging a hang at this stage of operation is even more specialised, and getting iPXE working on a 30-year-old CPU is definitely well into the depths of obscure corner cases.
I certainly understand that 486 is not very usual currently. But it is itself just a target platform, not a corner case. As such, it can be either supported or not. The board in question is a regular one of that time, nothing special.
I'm asking for this testing in order to eliminate problems potentially caused by interaction with your Etherboot ROM.
Yes, this is reasonable enough. As harddisk image somehow failed to be recognized by this board, I'll try to look into attaching a floppy drive (so a real fun starts)
Thank you, Regards, Nikolai
Thanks, Michael
