[syslinux] Network boot for syslinux

Hello,

I would like to achieve this goal:
- start bootloader using syslinux or isolinux from hard drive or CD (not pxe)
- init network, get IP address somehow from DHCP
- download kernel and initrd from FTP server (hosted on public internet)
- boot it

Is this currently possible with syslinux or isolinux?

I can do it when I boot over PXE from network, using PXELINUX.
But I would like to have the bootloader on disk for example, and load
vmlinuz+initrd "from network", to avoid the need for pxe server at
all.



Thank you

Tomas M
