Net-booting an EFI image on an aarch64 server with iPXE script

[travislazar]

Small update. I tried:

Code:

imgfetch -n linux http://..linux,
imgfetch -n initrd.gz http://..initrd.gz
imgfetch -n bootnetaa64.efi http://..bootnetaa64.efi

imgselect bootnetaa64.efi
boot

And same issue, dropping me straight to grub shell with no available file system.

Another piece to the puzzle. When I do:

Code:

imgfetch http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/bionic-updates/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/arm64/linux

And then:

Code:

imgstat

I see:

Code:

iPXE> imgstat
linux : 8402700 bytes

Whereas in all of the imgstat examples, an imgtype is auto detected. I've booted this image before via the mini.iso grub method, which makes me think it's a valid linux image, but iPXE is not detecting the img type automatically. Any way to force this?
