... On a second though, here it is:
http://ritic.am-1.org/diskless/ipxe/world-default
One can run it with QEMU (or QEMU/KVM) like:
$ qemu \
-kernel virtio-net.lkrn \
-net nic,model=virtio \
-net user,bootfile=http://173.0.50.100/diskless/ipxe/world-default
It seems that the version of QEMU I use fails to provide DNS to
the child, so I had to use "plain" IPv4 addresses within both
the command line above and the "world-default" iPXE script, as
well as providing a copy of balder10.img on my server (as
http://ibiblio.org/ apparently requires the proper Host: HTTP
header.)
For booting "real" hardware, one'd need a DHCP server, and also
a TFTP one (unless a recent version of iPXE is burned into the
boot ROM.)
E. g., the ISC DHCP server may be configured roughly as follows
(assuming a static MAC to IPv4 mapping.)
### dhcpd.conf -*- Default-Generic -*-
default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;
subnet 192.0.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
use-host-decl-names on;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option routers 192.0.2.1;
option domain-name-servers
192.0.2.53;
# option ntp-servers 192.0.2.123;
if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" {
filename "http://173.0.50.100/diskless/ipxe/world-default";
} else {
## download iPXE from a TFTP server
next-server 192.0.2.69;
filename "undionly.kpxe";
}
host diskless.example.org {
hardware ethernet 00:27:0e:05:e5:9e;
fixed-address 192.0.2.97;
}
}
### dhcpd.conf ends here
Also note that the Debian 6.0.4 Live "standard" image is some
177 MiB in total, and thus takes a while to load from
http://cdimage.debian.org/ (AKA http://130.239.18.163/.) It's
provided as an example only; one should really consider putting
it somewhere within his or her own network! (There's also a
section for loading the "Xfce desktop" image, but its menu entry
was commented-out, so not to abuse the cdimage server.)
The files provided (below /bin/) are as follows. (I'd like to
thank Aioe for its wonderful "441 Lines longer than 79 chars".)
