Probably a really stupid question?

RE: Probably a really stupid question?
This is fairly easily resolved. You need to create a script that runs dhcp to get a network lease and then continues the boot process on its own instead of booting the DHCP-specified root-path/filename. An EMBEDDED script something like this should work:

Code:
#!ipxe
dhcp
chain http://some.server/my_actual_ipxe_boot_script.ipxe

I don't think it's possible to ask the iPXE DHCP client to communicate directly with a specific DHCP server, but if you want choices instead of just a hardcoded chain command, you can use login/prompt/menu commands to interact with the user.
