How can I boot from a root filesystem (maybe squashfs or dd image)?

to use chain NFS:// ... from iPXE you will need to build iPXE with NFS enabled
So my guess is that was what happened for you when you got the http://ipxe.org/3c092003 error.
as seen in

I would still recommend that you use http access from within iPXE, and then only have the linux kernel do the NFS parts.

moving on to your next image:

first thing to check would be that your linux has gotten an IP at that point.

you might need
Code:
root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=10.0.0.2:/srv/nfsroot
(or atleast you used to need that if you used kernel NFS root, but might be different in todays initrd based boots, so https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation...fsroot.txt might not be relevant but might be worth a read)

You might also want to add vga=791 or something similar to get a bit more info on screen for debug purposes.
