Using iPXE to install OneFS (FreeBSD 7) via Razor-server

RE: Booting/installing from a .img
I have found a similar workflow that is known as working and I am unable to reproduce it in my iPXE configuration. I think that if I can get this workflow functioning that I should be able to use the same method to get my privies one working. Here is the configuration file that is being used in PXE for this new method.

SERIAL 0 115200 0
DEFAULT BR_RIPT_BSD10
PROMPT 0
MENU TITLE Force BR_RIPT_BSD10 boot

LABEL BR_RIPT_BSD10
menu label netboot:BR_RIPT_BSD10
kernel memdisk
append initrd=freebsd/BR_RIPT_BSD10-mfsroot.gz raw

MENU end


How do I correctly reproduce this in iPXE? I tried to copy this over in a more 1:1 way, but append does not work in iPXE.


EDIT: I was able to get the .gz file to boot. Unfortuantely it did not do what I needed either so I am still exploring the .img route. To note, this is the config that worked for it:

sleep 3
kernel <%= repo_url("memdisk") %>
imgargs memdisk raw
initrd <%= repo_url("B_RIPT_BSD10_307-mfsroot.gz") %>
boot
