[gPXE] Pushing GPXE script to HTTP server

[htruong at tnhh.net]

Hi all,

I'm working on converting workstations in our lab to diskless. So far
I've got good luck with loading our customized live casper image for
Ubuntu with something like this:

> dhcp net0
> initrd http://urania/initrd.gz
> kernel http://urania/vmlinuz boot=casper toram netboot=nfs
> nfsroot=150.243.x.x:/export/trubuntu --
> boot

We really like it as gPXE allowed us to do a network boot without
touching the DHCP server which we don't have control of. We burned gPXE
with the script to our eth card ROM via rom-o-matic. However, I think it
is a good idea to store all the kernel parameters to a file stored on a
webserver rather than hard-coding them in the ROM so I don't have to
flash the ROM image again every time we change the parameters for the
kernel. But I haven't found anything after digging the documentation for
hours.

Something like 

dhcp net0
chainload http://urania/mygPXEconfig

which can magically achieve the same effect.

I wonder if that's possible and if that's possible, where can I find the
directions for it.
