RE: native iso & floppy image chainload (without memdisk) ?
Yes, with the sanboot command. In practical terms it uses the same method as memdisk, but it uses somewhat less memory, and it's built into ipxe directly. Be aware, though, that memdisk usually gives you a read-write floppy (in memory), while a sanbooted floppy is read-only. Some floppy-based programs might have problems with this.

To sanboot a floppy you need to use drive 0x00 instead of 0x80.
