Netboot works in grub2, but only using the PXE protocol. If you don’t
have a PXE BIOS on your NIC then you are out of luck.

Subject: status of grub netboot in
GRUB2
Anyone know if any work is being done on
implementing a netboot function into GRUB2 similar to what is available in
GRUB1? I.e.,
. supports current network hardware with
self-contained drivers
. does not require PXE hardware
. does not require any other software
I see this article in this forum talking about some plans
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2006-05/msg00058.html
and this one more recently
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2008-01/msg00640.html
- but they are all years ago ...
Or - is there any kind of netboot functionality in GRUB2 or being worked
on by anyone?
