Hi John,

Check out this page for some scripting information:

   http://etherboot.org/wiki/scripting

If you're building from source you would cd to the src directory and do:

   make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=/home/foo/myscript.gpxe

to get your script embedded in an all-images image.

You can also use rom-o-matic.net:


http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-git/gpxe.git/contrib/rom-o-matic/build.php

(You have to hit the "customize" button and travel to the bottom of the
page to find the script box)

Then you can type your script in the box and it will be embedded in the
image that rom-o-matic.net gives you.

We're generally a pretty helpful and kind community.  I hope this helps
you get started.  Feel free to ask more questions. :)
