Using grub4dos, I am trying to boot with the following menu.lst file configuration :
LOAD.IPXE : ( saved as UNIX text file )
grub4dos loads IPXE.KRN but LOAD.IPXE is never processed and the computer falls back to the network boot screen :
The computer reacquires an IP address from DHCP and the grub4dos menu is presented again.
Removing initrd /LOAD.IPXE from menu.lst works fine and I can hit CTRL+B to to access the command-line mode to boot my .iso
file successfully.
Removing pxe keep does not change the result.
IPXE.KRN is extracted from ipxe.iso
How do I need to configure the menu.lst file to run the script LOAD.IPXE successfully?
Server = Windows XP SP3
Tried also the configuration below but no success ( Embedding via the command line method ) , menu.lst entry :
Testing this method :
Once again, the computer falls back to the network boot screen :
I guess there is a problem with the special characters \&\&
