It's already possible to do a network boot of an s390x guest with an external netboot image based on a Linux installation, but it would be much more convenient if the s390-ccw firmware supported network booting right out of the box, without the need to assemble such an external image first. This is an s390-netboot.img that can be used for network booting. You can download a combined kernel + initrd image via TFTP by starting QEMU for example with: qemu-system-s390x ... -device virtio-net,netdev=n1,bootindex=1 \ -netdev user,id=n1,tftp=/path/to/tftp,bootfile=kernel.img Note that this version does not support downloading via config files (i.e. pxelinux config files or .INS config files) yet. This will be added later. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>
