Hi,

I'm happy with moving to iPXE if it's better/more supported upstream.

iPXE should be just a drop-in replacement for gPXE so what is mostly needed is to build the iPXE images. You can decide yourself which one seems to be more actively developed and maintained:

http://git.etherboot.org/gpxe.git/shortlog
http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/shortlog

Otherwise I will add it to my list, but it's not likely to be high
priority.

Basically all what's needed is to have a system with the needed tools to build the iPXE images (adjust the embedded image as needed):

yum install git make gcc perl syslinux genisoimage
git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git ipxe.git
cd ipxe.git/src
make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=bfo.gpxe bin/ipxe.iso
make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=bfo.gpxe bin/ipxe.usb
make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=bfo.gpxe bin/ipxe.dsk
make EMBEDDED_IMAGE=bfo.gpxe bin/ipxe.lkrn

The current README suggests that the web based rom-o-matic has been used for generating the gPXE images but for iPXE no such service exists so you'd need to compile the images on a suitable system and make them available then on b.f.o.

Thanks,
