Method and apparatus for configuring and booting with more than one protocol using single option ROMBIOS code on multi function converged network adapter

摘要

A converged network adapter card utilizes a single option ROM to support configuring and booting the protocols of the multifunction converged network adapter. In one embodiment the single option ROM stores a sequence of images to: 1) support configuring and booting the network interface card (NIC) and storage protocols supported by the converged network adapter card and 2) support all of the boot solutions for the converged network adapter card.
