Modifications needed for iPXE to run

[NetworkTest]

Thanks for the pve-iso-2-pxe script, which worked fine.

The iPXE bootscript would not run without two modifications:

1. The script should set a "webserver" variable instead of "ipserver" since the script calls "${webserver}" later on.

set webserver http://192.168.1.1

2. The iPXE client loaded initrd OK but then returned file-not-found errors when trying to load linux26 with options. I think the syntax, with spaces, is an issue. My workaround was to change the "opts" value into the form of a PHP query, starting with a "?" and then delimiting each key/value pair with an "&" character:

set opts "?vga=791&video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr&ramdisk_size=16777216&rw&quiet&initrd=initrd"
..
set kernel "${webserver}/proxmox/${pveversion}/linux26${opts}&splash=silent

Note the lack of spaces in the "set kernel" line.

Thanks again.

The example boot script should look like this:

#!ipxe
dhcp
set webserver http://192.168.1.1
set opts ?vga=791&video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr&ramdisk_size=16777216&rw&quiet&initrd=initrd
menu Please choose an operating system to boot
    item normal Install Proxmox
    item debug Install Proxmox (Debug Mode)
choose --default normal --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}
:debug
    set kernel ${webserver}/pxeboot/linux26${opts}&splash=verbose&proxdebug
    goto init
:normal
    set kernel ${webserver}/pxeboot/linux26${opts}&splash=silent
    goto init
:init
initrd ${webserver}/pxeboot/initrd
chain ${kernel}
