PXE Dispatcher for iPXE

Very neat. I especially like the idea of sending back a fixed script that causes iPXE to call the same CGI script again but with additional parameters for ${uuid} etc.

Code:

#!ipxe
echo
echo Booting FreeDOS for ${hostname} from SAN
set keep-san 1
set root-path iscsi:nas.smidsrod.lan::::iqn.2011-02.lan.smidsrod:${hostname}.boot.freedos
sanboot ${root-path}
echo Boot from ${root-path} failed, dropping to shell
shell

You need something like

Code:

sanboot ${root-path} ||

to prevent the script from exiting immediately if the sanboot command fails.
