Solved. Now booting lighttpd on an N3150 board.
DD'ing the lighttpd .iso image to a USB drive is odd too. On both machines
I get dumped into the grub shell.
For anyone else with the same problem: https://github.com/genodelabs/genode/blob/master/doc/release_notes-14-08.txt #L1105
BTW A serial connection is IMO absolutely critical for real hardware work.

The ISO image should also work. We use this method regularly and rarely have any issues. Maybe something went wrong with dumping the ISO image to the USB device? When using 'dd', one has to make sure that all blocks are actually written to disk before unplugging the USB device because the Linux kernel may keep blocks in the block cache, even after 'dd' exits. It is usually the best to specify 'oflag=direct' to the 'dd' command.

Definitely!
You may use a PC-card with a comport, which should work out of the box thanks to the "bender" chain-boot loader that we use by default. Alternatively, Intel AMT's SOL (serial-over-line) is quite handy. The latter is supported by Genode's run tool. You may find Section 5.4. "System integration and automated testing" of the documentation [1] helpful for using this approach, in particular the example given at page 147.

Hello Norman
great!
Indeed. I have nearly got the services I want to run. More questions to follow :)

Yes, I am pretty familiar with the spells required here which is why I am so keen on PXE booting.
FWIW, from 'history' here's the stanza:
2176 lsblk 2177 sudo dd if=build.nova/var/run/lighttpd.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M 2178 sync 2179 sudo eject /dev/sdb

The N3150 board has an old skool RS232 header on it. Very handy.

Thanks. I must find out more about this..

Jerry.
P.S. Once I've managed to assemble the topology I need I will push a PR to Github (if that is the best means of getting another demo/tutorial into the stack).
