[MinnowBoard] Using PXE boot to install Linux on a Minnowboard Turbot

Is the PXE server setup for UEFI? The MinnowBoard Max/Turbot firmware does not support legacy PXE images, only UEFI PXE images. That means the server must have a UEFI image and proper entries in the config files.

Subject: [MinnowBoard] Using PXE boot to install Linux on a Minnowboard Turbot


I'm trying to install Debian Linux on a Turbot dual-core, single ethernet.

I want to network boot (PXE boot) the Turbot into the debian installer.  I've set up a TFTPboot server as described in the Debian documentation.  I've tested it with a Dell laptop, and been able to use it to boot the Debian installer on the laptop.

But she I try to PXE boot the Turbot, the screen flashes a few times - way too fast for me to read anything - and it returns to the BIOS boot menu.

The Minowboard's BIOS is version 097, the latest.

Anybody have a clue?

ADVthanksANCE,
Rick
