ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" \
vga=791 fetch=tftp://192.168.1.1:images/clonezilla/live/filesystem.squashfs

That translates roughly to

Code:

#!ipxe
kernel images/clonezilla/live/vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img union=overlay \
    boot=live config noswap edd=on nomodeset \
    ocs_live_run="ocs-live-general" \
    vga=791 fetch=tftp://192.168.1.1:images/clonezilla/live/filesystem.squashfs
initrd images/clonezilla/live/initrd.img
boot

though I would strongly recommend that you use a fast protocol such as HTTP instead of TFTP.

I did manage to come across undionly.pxe and got to a prompt, so that is some progress, although a pointer to that file in a newbie section of the docs would be handy.

Thanks for the code, but I'm not sure where that should go.... Does IPXE look for an equivalent of pxelinux.cfg/default ? If so I'll copy the above code there.

It's not immediately obvious how scripts are invoked, where they should be kept or what they should be called.

As for changing tftp to http, I take your point but not sure how to make that work yet. I currently have pfSense (a FreeBSD based firewall) set up as my PXE boot server, so once I have IPXE working I will look into using http.

BTW I was very impressed being able to boot using http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php .
