One somewhat ugly way to do this would be to re-purpose the NVRAM's
"filename" setting. Then you would embed the following gPXE script:<br>
<br>
#!gpxe<br>
${filename}<br>
<br>
gPXE could be de-activated when the "filename" setting is set to
"exit". It would be active if it was set to "autoboot".<br>
<br>
You might also consider the gPXE mailing list at
