[nova] Spawning instance that will do PXE booting

Hi,

In order to test OCI [1] within OpenStack itself, I would need my instances to do PXE booting. This would be with something like this on the qemu command line:

qemu-system-x86_64 -boot n

I believe this would also mean setting-up network cards that can do PXE booting, like the e1000, which Qemu supports.

If that is possible, then I would setup DHCP + tftp-hpa on another instance, wired on the same private network.

Your thoughts? Is this possible?

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
