 The first line adds the tag "netboot" only to MAC-addresses starting with 08:00:27:fb (in this example VirtualBox VMs). The 2nd line allows Netbooting only for devices which have the "netboot" tag. The first line adds the tag "netboot" only to MAC-addresses starting with 08:00:27:fb (in this example VirtualBox VMs).

-\\ +==== Enabling Netboot in BIOS ====
  
 +Some x86 boards have netboot enabled by default in their BIOS, many do not.  For example with the Jetway line of boards using AMI BIOS, netboot may be enabled on a NIC by NIC basis.
 +
 +**Jetway Board Example**
 +
 +Enter the **Setup** page in the BIOS by typing ''DEL'' via VGA Console or ''F4 (<ESC>OS)'' via Serial Console.
 +
 +Navigate to Integrated Peripherals -> Onboard Device Function, then set "Onboard LAN1 BootROM [Enabled]" in the BIOS for one or more NICs (LAN1, LAN2, etc.).
 +
 +Finally, with netboot enabled in the BIOS, you can select the Boot Menu at startup by typing ''F11'' via VGA Console or ''F3 (<ESC>OR)'' via Serial Console.  Then you can select the NIC to netboot from.
