I'm still not convinced we need extboot for all bioses on the long term. And I think we should define new interfaces in a way that finally makes it obsolete, at least for our "home bios" (whatever it will be).What we won't need long term is the extboot interface (hw/extboot.c). Ideally, we would rewrite the extboot option rom to have a proper virtio-blk driver in it. Better yet, to finish up Laurent's work of adding virtio-blk support to gpxe since it gives us bcv for free.
That doesn't cover booting from scsi. It also doesn't cover booting from usb. cheers, Gerd
