<div dir="ltr">I am definitely getting the iPXE as it has splash screen like the one Andrew linked. Also, I can hit ctrl-b and exec ipxe commands, which is not possible with the built-in PXE. What isn't working is the HTTP protocol support.<div>

Virtualbox includes a version of iPXE that has very limited protocol support, and it is the default PXE ROM in every vbox VM I have used. If, for some reason, your attempt to inject the ROM into your Virtualbox VM's configuration didn't work, it would load the built-in version instead, and while you'd be loading iPXE (which would <i>look </i>like a successful implementation, but of course is just the old, built-in ROM loading). That built-in iPXE splash screen looks like this: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/gfVjURG.png" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/gfVjURG.png</a></div>
</div><div><br></div><div>If you like, the only test I could suggest that might shed <i>some</i> light on whether or not your features are being included in the build, you can instead...</div><div><br></div><div><span style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-size:12.800000190734863px;font-family:'courier new',monospace">$ make bin/8086100e.pxe</span></div>
<div><br></div><div>...and then chainload *that* file from a TFTP server using the iPXE inside of your VM, and check to see if your features work. If they do, it's quite likely you just need some updated guide on how to replace your VirtualBox NIC's ROM.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Andrew Bobulsky</div>
