I can't figure out how to get started! I have a working FreeBSD based PXE Server but don't know what to put in tftpbooot. With PXELINUX I used gpxelinux.0 and set up options via pxelinux.cfg.

Post an example stanza from your pxelinux.cfg file, and someone will be able to translate it into an equivalent iPXE script for you!

At the moment I'm trying to identify what to use in place of gpxelinx.0. I have no idea where to start. I tried ipxe.iso but got a boot msg:-

PXE-E79: NBP is too big to fit into free base memory
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.

As far a gpxelinux.0 is concerned, I'm only using pxelinux.cfg/default which consists of:

ui menu.c32

menu title Utilities

label clonezilla
menu label Clonezilla
kernel images/clonezilla/live/vmlinuz
append initrd=images/clonezilla/live/initrd.img union=overlay \
boot=live config noswap edd=on nomodeset \
ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" \
vga=791 fetch=tftp://192.168.1.1:images/clonezilla/live/filesystem.squashfs



Which doesn't work BTW although I have managed to get hdt.c32 working
