[gPXE] gpxe on USB or HD

Hello list,

I've been trying to get gpxe to boot from a USB drive, and even an 
internal hard drive, but no luck.  Using the ISO for a CD works 
perfectly, but a USB key would be much more convenient.  The .usb and 
.dsk files that download appear to be corrupt every time as no 
application can open them (winimage says they are corrupt), or the 
contents when dd to a disk under linux are corrupt.  Copying the 
contents of the .iso to a USB drive or internal HD does not result in a 
bootable system regardless of the format or setup of the drive.

Has anyone managed to make a bootable USB key or internal drive with the 
gpxe environment and if so precisely how?

Thanks!
Yadin
