Description Eduardo Habkost 2009-12-11 12:13:43 UTC
(Opening this bug against etherboot, while the gpxe component is not created on Bugzilla, yet).

The gpxe package needs to be changed to use the 'alternatives' system to allow selection between gpxe and etherboot, to allow RHEV-H to implement the system proposed on bug #546475.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #546475 +++

--- Additional comment from ehabkost on 2009-12-11 07:06:48 EDT ---

After discussins this with Alan Pevec, the plan is to use persistent configuration data to choose between gpxe and etherboot, and have both gpxe and etherboot included on the RHEV-H image.
