How to use vesamenu.c32

[glenc2004]

Hello all. I am fairly new to ipxe so please bare with me. I am trying to use the vesamenu.c32 and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to chain that menu rather than the standard. I do not use DHCP and cannot due to environmental reasons. So I am stuck using http to download everything. I have enabled most features of ipxe on my ISO and the regular menu.c32 work just great. But I want to use the vesa menu. What is the proper load sequence so I can use the vesa menu.

Here is what I do....

1) Load ISO into vmware vm
2) Boot and the ipxe I have setup to manually enter the IP, netmask and all the proper info into the built in menu.ipx in the ISO
3) set the network info and open the interface
4) chain the menu.ipxe menu from the web server

And I have a working menu. I have tried various methods using php and unloading the current kernel and etc. But I always seem to get a vm error trying to run outside memory bounds. So obviously I'm missing something. By the way I do have access to esxi/vsphere but for testing purposes I prefer to use vmware player for now.

If someone can show me at least after #4 I get a working vesa menu that would be awesome.

Thanks for your patience!
