Network booting in EFI mode

Post by noorez »

I was unable to find information on Virtualbox's ability to boot over the network in EFI mode. Is this currently possible? In the bios mode, I am able to boot from the PXE server that I have designated.

There is no information because it's currently not possible to use network booting in UEFI. The reason is that it needs drivers for the E1000/PCnet cards to do something useful.
