We use mformat to ensure that the FAT filesystem starts as empty. However, formatting the filesystem can still leave old data blocks present (though unreferenced) within the disk image. Truncate the image to a zero length before extending, to ensure that no stale content is retained. Signed-off-by: Michael Brown <mcb30@ipxe.org>
iPXE network bootloader
iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
-
boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,
-
boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,
-
control the boot process with a script,
You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.
iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).
You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.
