netbootxyz booting on Proxmox VM / Broken menu items

[n3gwg]

Anthony, et alia:

Problem 1: Using a Proxmox VM I was unable to get netbootxyz to boot with OVFM firmware, it simply did not work and stated that UEFI QEMU HARD DISK was not found.

Solution 1: A fellow Proxmox user indicated that adding a "vrtio rng device" would fix the issue (it did), but more issues became apparent as follow hereupon.

NOTE: It is imperative to assure that the boot order has the network device listed first and is selected to be booted from in "Boot order" under "Options".

I do not know if it is relevant or not, but the network device I was using was a VirtIO network "card".

Both of these issues are coming from within the "Live CDs" menu.

Issue 1 - Booting Kali Linux

After a lengthly download process (I did not have Kali as a local asset), it errored out. A screenshot has been attached to this message.

Issue 2 - Fedora Linux

I tried to select either Fedora 41 or Fedora 42, neither of which ever even started to boot from the menu. It just stayed right on the menu selection doing nothing.
