Netboot and iPXE

RE: Netboot and iPXE
It's relatively easy to build a plist file for a 'bootfileonly' option which supplies an EFI compatible binary. From memory I was successful in getting it to serve an run a grub efi binary, but wasn't successful in getting the ipxe efi binary to run. Part of it I believe may have been 16 vs 32/64bit based efi binary? But it was a good 6 months ago since i tried last.

It also seems that the macs if you boot them in EFI mode don't seem to initialise everything like they do in legacy bios mode (ie: cd boot). USB Keyboard among others rings a bell as being an issue last time i worked on it, but as said that was some time ago.

I'll see if i can dig out the guts of the plist file for bootfileonly next time i have a chance, but i do have alot of stuff on my plate for the next month, so won't get a chance to work on it again before Oct at the earliest, and then i'm off on leave for 2 weeks in mid oct.
