How setup iPXE to skip dhcp root-path parameter on boot - dosik - 2015-12-29 07:01

Hello.

I have the following issue: For my boot image needed option dhcp root-path for future use in the format of IP:/some/path/. But if my DHCP server returns it, iPXE trying to connect SAN device and receives an error - Could not open SAN device: Operation not supported (http://ipxe.org/3c092003).
Can I setup iPXE so that it skip and ignored the option dhcp root-path and continues to boot without attempting to open SAN device?

Best regards.

Yes, use an embedded script on your ipxe binary that doesn't use "autoboot". See http://ipxe.org/scripting and http://ipxe.org/cmd/autoboot for details. You can read about embedding here: http://ipxe.org/embed
