You could create a minimalistic Linux distro and add tools statically compiled on it and use the example from http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid...1#pid11791 to run it using iPXE.

Just be aware that if you want to do this in UEFI mode then the kernel must have CONFIG_EFI_STUB enabled.

Exactly what you need to include in the initrd to make it display the inventory information you need depends on what kind of inventory information you want to store.

This is not a new problem, and I'm sure there are Linux distros that already do this. Check the list of distros at DistroWatch.com and see if you can find one. I also think PuppetLabs Razor does something similar, but I might be mistaken.
