Hi All, I'm trying to understand the invocation of the routines pxe_init(); pxe_ope= n() etc. in pxe.c By the structure, it looks like a driver with devsw_pxedisk =3D { entry poi= nts =85} Once this pxeldr is brought down from the net boot server, how does it get = invoked ( or rather who calls these routines ) ??? The loader ( strapped wi= th it don't seem to call). I assume that the the boot code in the NVRAM ( or wherever ) of the NIC tha= t supports calls these pxe_* () functions ??? Thanks -prokash
