DineshBhat Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hi,Here is what I wanted to do:1. Setup WOL (Wake On Lan) and let the device to boot through PXE.I have done a setup for WOL and PXE also. But the struggling part for me is, "Editing the boot order" after waking up the device(using WOL). I want the device to boot through PXE only once (each time when woke up from WOL).Can any one help me on this?Thanks,Dinesh Bhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VideoRipper Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I guess you'll need some special kind of BIOS for that ora NIC with a custom written boot-PROM...Don't know if these exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 A possibility is to access the BIOS (SMBIOS) settings and change them programmatically:http://linux.dell.com/libsmbios/main/index.htmlhttp://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbiosSome vendors provide CMOS Tokens:http://linux.dell.com/libsmbios/main/security.html#what_cmosOr maybe mod this:http://rayer.ic.cz/romos/romose.htmBUT it's a loooong way, as I see it. Maybe you should ask for help in forums dedidacated to BIOS and BIOS modding....jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
