For a while now I have been using pxegrub for diskless systems and its been rather nice. Can still have the graphical grub menu showlike normal, and that is kinda nice. However its not very verbose, and not to many ways to make is such. Its even worse when you run into a problem. After checking with some others in Gentoo, it seems to be the consensus. Which is to use syslinux's pxelinux instead of grub's pxegrub.
Its very verbose by default, and if it fails, drops you to a boot command so you can do some stuff, which is very nice. I could not find a way to do the same thing with pxegrub. The downfall is no graphics at all during that process, which is really not a big deal, and who cares. Though you can make a image display and other things if you want to code in asm. Syslinux/pxelinux will inject that, and you will get the graphics on the screen. But not sure the bang is worth the buck :) Anyway welcome to use what ever you like, but I highly recommend pxelinux over pxegrub, or others. Though thus far just worked with those two, and long ago lilo. -- William L.
