Code:
#!ipxe
set mirror http://server.org
set repo ${mirror}/ks/dist/ks-rhel-x86_64-server-6-6.5
kernel ${repo}/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz ksdevice=bootif lang=  kssendmac text ks=${mirror}/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/SMBC
initrd ${repo}/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
boot

Works perfectly in a KVM/Libvirt environment I have but using the same ISO and same script on a VMware environment fails silently. It just gets stuck while fetching the initrd.img file.
TCPdump shows no errors, the conversation just stops mid-sentence. Pretty stumped here...

Btw, ended up using tftp for vmware...
