I'm trying to test some PXE booting in my lab environment. When I boot my guest, it seems to be using iPXE. I just want it to use the old method of network booting so it attempts to pickup my PXE environment. Is there any way to shut off this iPXE in Virtualbox?

What do you mean by 'old method'? At some time we switched from Etherboot to iPXE because Etherboot is not maintained anymore. If you install the Extension Pack then the Intel PXE code is used. The Intel code didn't change lately.

I think I need the extension pack for PXE that you mentioned. By saying old method, I meant the Intel PXE booting capability. Where do I get this extension pack you refer to?
