RE: How can I boot from a root filesystem (maybe squashfs or dd image)?
I am getting "Could not start download: Operation not supported" on my NFS guest machine:

Here is my ipxe config (loaded from my web server):
Code:
#!ipxe

initrd nfs://10.0.0.2/srv/nfsroot/boot/initrd.img-4.10.0-35-generic
chain nfs://10.0.0.2/srv/boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-35-generic initrd=initrd root=nfs:10.0.0.2:/srv/nfsroot

I can mount the NFS mount normally from another PC.
With further testing I got further by loading initrd and vmlinuz over HTTP instead of NFS. Then initrd was able to take over I think, but I can't boot completely: https://i.imgur.com/fBd7PJC.png
