wimboot - reach initrd image inside WinPE - Rushmore - 2016-03-28 10:21

Boot WinPE via wimboot like this:
Code:
#!ipxe
kernel wimboot
initrd boot/bcd         BCD
initrd boot/boot.sdi    boot.sdi
initrd sources/boot.wim boot.wim
initrd /scripts/dosomething.aspx somedata.dat
boot

Can I get the contents of somedata.dat inside WinPE? Somehow?
Is there any method to achieve this?

No not currently, is this similar to this thread?

NiKiZe, thanks for reply. I know about SystemStartOptions registry feature. But I need to inject more than line of text.

I wrote script on web server to add file(s) to WIM image on the fly using 7-zip archiver. Though my script uses ramdisk to speedup overall process, I don't think that copying of 100+ mbytes on every boot is a rational solution...
