scaleway-ipxe's Issues

Unable to "see" the installer

Hello

I have been trying to use your script for a VC1 instance, expecting an output like this one from your example https://gist.github.com/moul/e8a8853964d229d2db102d2f357ab5e5

Unfortunately, I am not getting any output after selecting an entry of the netboot menu. I've just tried debian 8 and ubuntu 16.04 installers without success.

I am not sure if you should get a terminal screen similar to the one on the netboot.xyz site (the gif one), because I am getting something like this:

And after selecting my option, the background goes black and nothing happens, until the machine reboots itself.

As an important detail, I've modified your script, to attach to an existing instance (scw attach), instead of creating a new one, so the first parameter is the name of my instance instead of an image name. I am not sure if this could be the problem?

Edit: Probably something related with my environment? Using windows with cygwin+ssh to a bastion server, inside a tmux session. But I get a similar output trying to do this from the browser serial console on the scaleway panel.

Thanks for reading
