...urpose: My TCP-capable EFI client is on a subnetwork with broken DHCP not under my control, so I can't achieve a traditional network PXE boot to my PXE server; as a solution, I seek a simple USB-based shim that will boot locally and then chain me over to my PXE server. Attempts with ipxe snponly weren't immediately successful, meanwhile I started wondering whether I can just use syslinux.efi locally to achieve this? My syslinux.efi is configured thus: -a next-server ip.of.pxe.server -a config-file name.of.pxe.server.config -a path-prefix http://ip.of.pxe.server/ I woul...

Hi, I'm trying to boot 64bit version of syslinux.efi through network. But booting is freezes with following message: Getting cached packets My IP is X.X.X.X the last file that was requested through tftp is syslinux.efi. I'm using precompiled binary from official syslinux-6.02.tar.gz. Here is the dump in ASCII - http://brom.in/dumps/syslinux-20131220.txt Any help is appreciated.

None of Dell OptiPlex 990 (firmware A19), 9010 (firmware A22), nor 9020 (firmware A16) seem have a built-in EFI shell option, but in all three cases I had success running the external EFI shell from
