Hi list,

it is possible to start a ipxe.hd from a running (not dualboot or
virtualized!) winxp?

Imho xp is running in vm86 mode, so i think it should be possible, but i
didnt find anything about this in the net.

Mayby something with loadhigh?

Alternativly, running ipxe from winxp bootloader (boot.ini) could be
another option, but there i found a *very old* URL:
http://etherboot.org/wiki/windowsntloader

Is there an equivalent in ipxe? The problem is to continue with the next
boot option, if netboot fail..

Tfh!

Oliver
