Hi cinap,
Thanks for answering and sorry for bothering.

I did not finish everything, just a quick update for the record. I
created a folder in /lib/pxe/<pi serial number> that holds the files
required for the boot. The tftpd (and dhcpd) server is pointing
its home directory to /lib/pxe. I did it because bootcode.bin (which
is on the sd card, my rasp won’t pxe boot without it) prepends the
serial number to its file requests. I would have preferred to use
the .[ICE] naming convention found in the code, but that’s out of my
control as long as I keep using the standard bootcode.bin.
The pi boots :D For now the problem is the cmdline.txt file (which
is transferred by tftpd) is not forwarded correctly to the kernel,
so my "plan9.ini" configuration is not applied. I’m still debugging
this.
Cheers,
dan
