booting ipxe from pxelinux

[MultimediaMan]

I don't know if this will work, but you do have to add the APPEND line in order to add kernel arguments...

Code:

#Default.
KERNEL ipxe.lkrn
APPEND dhcp && chain http://10.10.10.10/NFW.ipxe

Now, embedding code into iPXE is simplicity itself:

your script:

Code:

#!ipxe
dhcp && chain http://10.10.10.10/NFW.ipxe
exit

as boot.ipxe

Then when compiling iPXE:

make bin/undionly.kpxe EMBED=boot.ipxe

If you want to use the full driver kernel, it is too large to boot on it's own, so you chainload the ipxe.pxe file... undionly.kpxe with an embedded script to chainload ipxe.pxe, and then ipxe.pxe with an embedded script to chainload NFW.ipxe

e.g.

make bin/undionly.kpxe EMBED=chain.ipxe
make bin/ipxe.pxe EMBED=boot.ipxe

your undionly script (chain.ipxe):

Code:

#!ipxe
dhcp && chain http://10.10.10.10/ipxe.pxe
exit

your ipxe.pxe script (boot.ipxe) :

Code:

#!ipxe
dhcp && chain http://10.10.10.10/NFW.ipxe
exit

make bin/undionly.kpxe EMBED=chain.ipxe
make bin/ipxe.pxe EMBED=boot.ipxe
