There is multiple ways you can use your compiled binary, for testing just mounting bin/ipxe.iso and booting from it is good.

Using it

Boot from the ROM/ISO.

CTRL+B to get a command line when prompted.

Then assuming a desired vlan ID of 123:

vcreate --tag 123 net0
dhcp net0-123
chain tftp://${next-server}/${filename}

Acres

In what is probably the biggest step taken towards our dream, we just bought a chunk of land of ~50 acres.

We have little money left to do anything with it at the moment but we’ll throw a house on it in due time. We are cleaning it up in the mean time.

It is an invigorating feeling to stare at your life goal.
