-BOOTING FROM A USB KEY INSTEAD OF A CD
-    If you wish to boot from a USB keydrive, use the livecd-iso-to-disk
-    tool:
+    Note that ISO attachments only work with real (and emulated) CD-Rs, not
+    with other methods of booting such as USB keys and PXE.
+
+PXE BOOTING
+    If you wish to boot over the network using PXE, use the
+    "livecd-iso-to-pxeboot" script (part of "livecd-tools").
+
+     livecd-iso-to-pxeboot virt-p2v-$VERSION.iso
+
+    then copy the generated subdirectory "tftpboot/" to the right place for
+    your PXE configuration.
+
+    Pre-built PXE boot images are also available on the website.
+
+    General configuration of DHCP, TFTP and PXE for network booting are
+    outside the scope of this document.

+BOOTING FROM A USB KEY
+    If you wish to boot from a USB keydrive, use the "livecd-iso-to-disk"
