According to pxeboot(8) from 5.0 snapshot: pxeboot is a modified version of the system third-stage bootstrap loader(8) configured to run under Intel's Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) system. PXE is a form of smart boot ROM, built into Intel EtherExpress Pro/100 and 3Com 3c905c Ethernet cards, and Ethernet-equipped Intel motherboards. Which means I cannot use it since I don't have the NIC and I don't want to buy the hardware for this. I want 'PXE' from BIOS so that I can keep my cards. :) Second, the motherboard I have doesn't support serial console. I couldn't find any BIOS update for the mobo.
