用软盘PXE启动

我是神仙

最先一直想在虚拟机中PXE启动,却找不到软盘,
后来找到一个:
Managed PC Boot Agent on Disk (MBAoD) v5.0
http://www.emboot.com/products_mba_on_disk5.htm
但却不是可以随便使用的
Previously, MBAoD was available only as a NIC-specific option ROM or integrated as part of the PC';s main BIOS. Now, a universal disk-based (floppy, CD, Compact Flash or Disk on Module) boot agent has been released. This disk-based boot agent supports a wide variety of NICs.
再后来,发现VMware本来就可以用PXE网络启动
不过,VPC好像不支持PXE启动

Network Boot for
Virtual Machines (VM)
Boot agents for VM are client-based ';virtual'; firmware that allows a VM client created with VMware and Connectix (Microsoft) to do a "network boot” using the virtual NIC.
VM technology allows multiple operating systems to run concurrently on a single machine. Connectix (Microsoft) Virtual PC and VMware Workstation virtual machine solutions provide the virtualization of the x86 architecture and in full hardware resource management
Our boot agents for VM are fully compliant with the Intel Wired for Management - Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) specification. PXE is the defacto industry standard protocols/APIs for network booting.
NEW!
* Improved initialisation time under Microsoft Virtual PC / Server - boots in one -fifth the time of RIS RBFG or other similar products
* Continuous retries is now implemented by the “set reboot to failure” action.
* We';ve added a "no logo" option, and when enabled, our logo won';t be displayed and the ESC key won';t be checked either.
