How to boot "pxeboot.n12" through iPXE?

[karthikeayan]

Hi,

We have followed the steps specified here, http://etherboot.org/wiki/winpe, and we are successfully able to boot through "WinPE" using DHCP and TFTP.

But we want to know is there any way to boot "pxeboot.n12" through iPXE?

We have tried this in iPXE script,

kernel tftp://10.0.0.5/Boot/pxeboot.n12
initrd tftp://10.0.0.5/Boot/bootmgr.exe BOOTMGR
initrd tftp://10.0.0.5/Boot/BCD BCD
initrd tftp://10.0.0.5/Boot/boot.sdi BOOT.SDI
initrd tftp://10.0.0.5/Boot/winpe.wim boot.wim

but getting the below error,
No more network devices,
BOOTMGR is missing

Regards,
Karthik

You do not want to use pxeboot.n12. It looks as though you are attempting to use wimboot (which is the correct approach), but your script has some errors. See the instructions at http://ipxe.org/howto/winpe for correct examples.

You may wish to use HTTP instead of TFTP; this will reduce the boot time down to around two seconds.
