The only information I have about OSX and netbooting with iPXE is this link: http://brandon.penglase.net/index.php?title=Getting_*nix_to_Netboot_Macs

You can of course load ipxe.iso and you should be able to netboot any Intel Mac. Just be aware that you can't boot ipxe.usb in the same way, as it seems Intel Macs only boot USB sticks in EFI mode, not in BIOS legacy mode (which is possible with CDs). This is what I've been told, but since I don't have a Mac myself I can't confirm or deny it.

Many thanks, mi goal would be boot installation of Mac OSX on intel pc, no mac pc, like in tonymacx86 projects
