Systemrescuecd version 6.x boot issue with ipxe - hd86 - 2020-07-06 12:15

Hello,

As per the newest version 6.x this is how we can pxe boot(https://www.system-rescue-cd.org/manual/PXE_network_booting/), but i am having issue with transforming this into ipxe format,

original format is,
Code:
DEFAULT sysresccd
LABEL sysresccd
  LINUX sysresccd/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz
  INITRD sysresccd/boot/intel_ucode.img,sysresccd/boot/amd_ucode.img,sysresccd/boot/x86_64/sysresccd.img
  APPEND archisobasedir=sysresccd ip=dhcp archiso_http_srv=http://10.0.2.4/ checksum
  SYSAPPEND 3

in my ipxe file,

Code:
:sysrescd
kernel sysresccd/boot/x86_64/vmlinuz initrd=sysresccd.img netboot=nfs ip=dhcp nfsboot=192.168.1.195:/home/sphere195/networkdrive/shared/install/systemrescuecd-amd64-6.1.6/ archisobasedir=sysresccd  setkmap=us
initrd sysresccd/boot/x86_64/sysresccd.img
imgstat
boot || goto start

this boots the system but does not pickup nfs root and tries to load the image. there is another thread about this at stackexchange https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/567185/failure-to-pxe-boot-systemrescuecd-6-3

but appending that argument in kernel does nothing.

Can anyone help me with this? as all examples are of version 4 or 5. and version 6 has new arguments which i don't know how to convert into this. if i add imgargs option it just doesn't boot anymore.
