There should be no need to pad the image as long as the binary is smaller or equal to this size. -The embedded script is required because VirtualBox uses the ROM as an ISA -ROM, which will not perform any autoboot behavior. The bundled embedded -script reproduces the default autoboot behavior. - To use the ROM in VirtualBox you need to enable it using this command: vboxmanage setextradata global \ VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/LanBootRom \ - path/to/intel--virtio-net--pcnet32.rom + /absolute/path/to/intel--virtio-net--pcnet32.isarom + +NB: If you build the ROM using the .rom prefix then it'll be built as a PCI +ROM, which won't work properly in VirtualBox.
