you might want to add a imgstat && prompt line, just to see that there is nothing else loaded, and maybe call imgfree before the initrd.

I'll give wimboot a try - the MS tools that generate the boot image create an ISO so was just using that as it seemed neater than having to take the ISO, mount it and extract the contents every time we generate a new one.

Will do - I prefer to use packages where possible as it simplifies any dependency versioning issues, that's the version of iPXE in even the next Ubuntu release, so clearly the package maintainer has gone AWOL. An annoying trend in most distributions I've found, particularly on smaller packages :-(
