For example, you could embed the script: #!ipxe dhcp chain http://bootserver/boot.php This script would cause iPXE to use DHCP to obtain an IP address and then boot from the fixed URL http://bootserver/boot.php (ignoring any boot filename provided by DHCP). This can be useful if you are unable to reconfigure your DHCP server to provide an appropriate boot filename. text/html 2011-12-02T21:46:58+01:00 http://ipxe.org/faq?rev=1322862418&do=diff iPXE is developed by the people who originally developed gPXE (which evolved from Etherboot). Unfortunately, the gpxe.org and etherboot.org domains are owned by an individual who wishes to exercise a high degree of control over the project and the codebase, so in April 2010 the decision was taken to create a new project named iPXE, using the existing codebase as a starting point. text/html 2012-04-28T19:18:08+01:00 http://ipxe.org/gsoc?rev=1335637088&do=diff This page presents a list of ideas that could be developed for iPXE as part of Google Summer of Code 2012.

Any command that can be typed at the iPXE command line can also be used in a script. You can find a full list of commands in the iPXE command reference. An iPXE script is a plain text file starting with the magic line #!ipxe and containing a sequence of iPXE commands. For example, here is a simple script that acquires an IP address via DHCP and then boots the iPXE demonstration image: text/html 2011-04-07T23:14:08+01:00 http://ipxe.org/start?rev=1302214448&do=diff [Screenshot] iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware.
