Go to https://ipxe.org/download and check for the repository URL, in case it's different from the one in the example.
Please read "Breaking the loop with an embedded script" section: https://ipxe.org/howto/chainloading
Please check dependencies on https://ipxe.org/download at Source section. You will need to have at least the following packages installed in order to build iPXE:
- gcc (version 3 or later)
- binutils (version 2.18 or later)
- make
- perl
- liblzma or xz header files
- mtools
- mkisofs (needed only for building .iso images)
- syslinux (for isolinux, needed only for building .iso images)
I've used this examples to simplify the booting with menu process: https://gist.github.com/robinsmidsrod/2234639
git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
cd ipxe/src
make bin/undionly.kpxe EMBED=boot.ipxe
Upload undionly.kpxe
along with the other files to the TFTP server in boot/ folder. boot.ipxe
is not required anymore as it's embedded into undionly.kpxe
but for your convenience it's better to have it on the server.
You need to add Next Server
to be your TFTP IP Address
. You'll also need to set Boot File Name
to be boot/undionly.kpxe
.
You should add all the files to your TFTP server because this is a simpel protocol and you need to describe every file which will be served.
File undionly.ipxe
is loaded from IP Address assigned in your Next Server
.
