wimboot Custom boot.wim

ssd: This is interesting. I think this might mean that iPXE is having issues when it is trying to load a file and turn it into a cpio archive _on the fly_, but only if the downloaded file is 330MB or larger.

This should be reported to the developer mailing-list.

If you have the opportunity to test, does it also work if you do something like this in an ipxe script?

Code:

#!ipxe
kernel wimboot
initrd wimfiles.cpio
boot

If it does, that seems to indicate it's the cpio-archive-on-the-fly generation which the initrd ipxe command does has an issue with large files (>330MB).
