I am attempting to write my first iPXE menu using https://gist.github.com/2234639 as an example.
However, when I write a basic menu, I get the error "menu: command not found".
Since this is my first attempt, I'm not sure if this is a syntax error, missing feature, a failure to load a library, etc. What am I missing?
Ah! I had an old version of undionly.kpxe . I am not sure what version I had, since I am not sure how to print the version string.
I updated to the latest version of iPXE from git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git , built from source, and the new version works.
