Maybe I should do a fallback option in the embedded script which could essentially achieve the same result.

As of a few minutes ago, you now can place an iPXE script as a file within the .iso. Anything that loads ipxe.lkrn (which includes the .iso image) can pass in an "initrd" to iPXE, which will be treated like an embedded image.

Only works for .lkrn images at the moment; no other iPXE format has a concept of an "initrd" that can be (ab)used in this way.
