Hi All,
A while back there was some mention that gpxe may acquire the
ability to receive command-line parameters. I'd dearly love if
this could become a reality.
It would be fantastic if we could have a pxelinux menu config
as follows:
KERNEL gpxelinux.0
APPEND config http://someserver.net/gpxe-for-this-box.cfg
This would solve a huge number of our problems since we
don't have the ability to control our DHCP server configurations
to avoid the "breaking the infintie loop" issue. See:
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/pxechaining#breaking_the_infinite_loop
Is this the best forum to gently nudge in this direction or do I also
need to prod the etherboot good people too ?
I'm afraid I don't have the low level coding skills to contribute
much other than my heartfelt thanks for pxelinux and friends.
Cheers,
Doug
