booting ipxe from pxelinux

RE: booting ipxe from pxelinux
I prefer to boot initially pxelinux.0. To boot ipxe I chain ipxe.pxe.
Code:
LABEL L1
KERNEL pxechn.c32 /ipxe.pxe
This solution requires to embed an xxx.ipxe command file.
As I stated at the beginning of this posting with syslinux 4.04 it was possible to pass ipxe commands without embedding.
Code:
#default (my pxelinux.cfg/default file)
LABEL iPXE
Kernel iPXE.LKRN
INITRD xxx.ipxe (this is the same .ipxe file I have to embed with syslinux 6.01)
There was no need to hit „Ctrl-B“ at any time.
I prefer not to use undionly.kpxe as this requires additional efforts but I do not see any advantage compared with booting pxelinux.0.
There is also no infinite loop I have to break. This solution also works fine with WDS.
I hope the solution available with syslinux 4.04 will be available with syslinux 6.02 again. (First tests with a pre-release look good.)

iPXE offers a lot of valuable features but some of them are well hidden, as descriptions in the documentation are missing.
