Loading binary network driver
I would like to use iPXE instead of the stock boot binaries provided for my Jaguarboard. The way I have been booting until now is to follow the Jaguarboard instructions, which load an American Megatrends 5.8 EFI shell, then I type "fs1:" and "load RtkUsbUndiDxe.efi" to load a binary Realtek ethernet driver, and then I type "ipxe.efi" to proceed with a regular network boot. It's painful because I have to type those commands on every reboot.

Is it possible to mimic this with an iPXE image? If I could embed the RtkUsbUndiDxe.efi driver image in a bootable EFI then that would be great. Or if I could embed a script that chainloads RtkUsbUndiDxe.efi before a regular network boot, then that would be great too. My attempts have failed to embed a script. The command "chain RtkUsbUndiDxe.efi" interprets the filename as a URL, which it can't load because it has no ethernet driver yet. The command "sanboot" can't locate a single file within a partition, and that command expects a bootable image anyway.

I'm open to any suggestions that would allow my Jaguardboard with its r8152 driver to netboot successfully. Thanks!
