[gPXE] Use gpxe without dhcp to get pxe menu from network

[Josh.Mullis at cox.com]

Hello all,

I'm probably as newbie as they come so bare with me if I'm missing the obvious...


Simply put:  My end goal is to have a boot iso that will grab a pxeboot menu from the network.
I already have a tftp/http server serving up the standard pxe menu via "/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default".

The iso will need to allow a user to input ip information. (dhcp is not allowed on our networks)
Then use that to retrieve the pxe menu.


I have ready through the docs, mail archives, how-tos, and general google searches.
Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology in my searches.


I have tried generating iso's from the rom-o-matic site (checked all boxes) with an embedded script to no avail.
My embedded scripts looked similar to this with minor alterations trying different combinations...

=================================
#!gpxe
ifopen net0
set net0/ip 10.1.1.2
set net0/netmask 255.255.255.0
set net0/gateway 10.1.1.1
chain http://myserver/boot/pxelinux.0
boot
=================================



Hopefully this is an easy task and I'm just missing something.
Thanks for making it through all that and for any help you guys can provide this newbie.   :)

-Josh
