ROM-o-matic web interface for building iPXE ROMs

------------------------------------------------

This web application generates iPXE images and sends them to a web

browser.

Available as part of the iPXE source code distribution, which can be

downlaoded from http://etherboot.org/

System Requirements

-------------------

- Apache web server

- PHP 4+

- Tools required to build iPXE installed on the server

- gcc, mtools, syslinux, perl, etc.

Setup

-----

As distributed, it is expected that the rom-o-matic source code

directory is in the contrib directory of a iPXE source distribution.

The easiest way to do this is to simply put a iPXE source distribution

in a web server accessible directory.

If this is not the case, you will need to either edit the file

"globals.php"

or create a file called

"local-config.php"

containing the following lines:

<?php

$src_dir = "../../src";

?>

Then change the line beginning "$src_dir = " to the path of your iPXE

source code tree.

To make build times shorter, before you run rom-o-matic for the first time

you should cd to the ipxe "src" directory and enter the following

commands:

$ make

$ make bin/NIC

This will pro-compile most object files and will make your rom-o-matic

builds much faster.
