This is a WIP patch series to add the netboot environment to
archweb. I send it primarily to receive comments on the code
and suggestions for the missing pieces:
- Right now, the binary files needed by pxelinux are not served,
but are redirects to the old releng site. Only the essential
files are there, so not everything in the menu will work.
- The files on the information page are not served yet, nor
do they exist.
- I have no idea if django properly caches this page, or if
this requires extra configuration, as regenerating it every
time seems like overkill.
- All files that iPXE needs to access must be served without
SSL as far as I know.
To test it, set your archweb test environment to run on
http://localhost:8000/
Download ipxe.lkrn from https://paste.xinu.at/OX7oU8/
and execute
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -kernel bin/ipxe.lkrn
or
qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -kernel bin/ipxe.lkrn -cpu kvm32
