I think ifopen should otherwise be done after config of ip

see http://ipxe.org/embed for how to embed the script.

Also read that error url for known reasons for that error.

Well I have tried setting the ip before running ifopen and after, and I received the same error message. As for embedding the script I have that working, it is just that when using the embedded script my system will not boot to the SAN, yet when not using the script embedded it boots fine. I did check that page for that error, it says to try using the latest ipxe, which I am, then to ask for help, which I am, and additional note says the drive might be blank, which it isn't.

For right now at least I might have my system working, yes it still requires two IP addresses from the DHCP server, but once ipxe grabs my script and runs it, it changes the ip address over to the static address it needs to be, then kicks off the iscsi boot and windows starts. I just need to get it tested to make sure our software can run on it now.
