[ipxe-devel] Apple iMac's

[Andreas Fink]

Macs don't netboot in the usual PXE fashion (dhcp to get a local IP + tftp to load a image of a tftp server).
They have another mechanism called Boot Server Discovery Protocol (BSDP). That mechanism can then be used to then load ipxe.

See https://opensource.apple.com/source/bootp/bootp-254.1/Documentation/BSDP.doc <https://opensource.apple.com/source/bootp/bootp-254.1/Documentation/BSDP.doc>
and this might help too:  https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_on_a_MAC <https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_on_a_MAC>

This is how I did it netboot it  https://www.fink.org/netboot/netbooting.html <https://www.fink.org/netboot/netbooting.html>
