Greetings,
I'm trying to get the NOVA/lighttpd scenario booting off real hardware as the VM solutions are not applicable in my potential use cases.
PXE is generally painless but using Pulsar on both an Intel i5 NUC and an N3150 (Quad Celeron) the boot process gets this far:
https://novadsp.com/images/genode/pulsar-boot.jpg
and then falls silent. Does anyone recognize the issue? Is the Pulsar source code available?
DD'ing the lighttpd .iso image to a USB drive is odd too. On both machines I get dumped into the grub shell. I note that it's a very old version (0.97?) Is there any reason for this?
Please bear with me whilst I get all of the Genode basics worked out here!
MTIA,
Jerry.

No, works fine for us on several machines without issues. If you can get to load the files manually via a tftp-client than it should work.
If you're using the Genode/run tool to generate your scenarios, you may have, depending on your tftp server, to instruct the Genode run tool to generate config-* files with absolute paths instead of relative (see tool/run/load/tftp for your options).
Is the Pulsar source code available?
No, unfortunately.
Alternatively you may try iPXE, see

Hello Alexander,

Are your targets booting UEFI or old-style BIOS?

No, unfortunately.
A shame.

An excellent suggestion and thank you for the link.
Much appreciated,
Jerry.
