[gPXE] Booting a physical machine using a virtual image and gPXE

[Clive Eisen]

um unless I have really mis understood your question then NO

A given image is for a given hypervisor - gPXE or indeed iPXE is not a hypervisor

Boot the hypervisor then boot the image

I understand that we can use gPXE to boot ISO images over the network, and to boot Virtual Machine Hyper-visors like KVM/VirtualBox using gPXE, however, can we use gPXE to boot a physical machine using a .vmdk/.vhd (or any other format) virtual image?
