We want to be able to boot from a specified server when needed. Such as to reinstall Windows without the need for a user interaction. As we are in a distributed and uncontrolled network we can not rely on PXE on the network. Therefore we use a locally installed iPXE to contact our boot control server. If nothing needs to be done (or the request times out) it simply boots local.

I was now able to get it to work with Grub and iPXE. See selected solution on this question (http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/...at-to-boot) for more details.

Except for the reboot problem we are still facing (http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=7965) it works as expected. Smile
