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).

No, unfortunately.



Alternatively you may try iPXE, see

Cheers,
