Bug#635877: grub-pc: pxe boot fails: error: no such disk.

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99-9
Severity: normal

i prepared a pxe bootable grub like so:

  grub-mknetdir --net-directory=/var/lib/tftpboot --subdir=/
  Netboot directory for i386-pc created. Configure your DHCP server to point to //i386-pc/core.0

when booting to it, i get:

  qemu -curses -boot n -net nic,vlan=1 -net tap,vlan=1,ifname=ltsp1,script=/bin/true

    Welcome to GRUB!

the image loads, it just doesn't seem to have the (pxe) device available.

not sure if it's an incompatibility with iPXE, will try with etherboot and 
maybe even real hardware.


live well,
