Referring to files in the initial RAM disk

RE: Referring to files in the initial RAM disk
Would there be a problem doing the *.lkrn embedded with the PNG, then moving on to the menu and Static IP selection?

I have done a similar thing myself for networks which do not have DHCP or one-offs, but I have never bothered with a background image. Reference this thread: http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=13275

My latest ISO iteration prompts for the IP address first, then it attempts to resolve it's hostname contact a ${17} webserver for ${hostname.ipxe}, or, if it is not in DNS, falling back to ${uuid.ipxe}. Assuming it can reach it's webserver, the rest of the process is automated (Kickstart, DNS Search order, Puppet Group, etc...).

Just some ideas.
