Hi Martin,
Hi Idwer,
thanks for your reply.

This will build iPXE option rom into the coreboot.rom file.
Which is exactly what I do not want.
It consumes a few seconds on every boot, which is totally unnecessary,
because I very rarely want to boot over network. That's why I'd rather have
iPXE as a payload than as an option rom. I think this *should* be possible,
because you can apparently run iPXE from GRUB, too. But it would be nicer to
have it in flash than on disk.
We solved that for PC Engines APU2 SeaBIOS some time ago. IIRC What you
have to do is not run init_optionrom in optionroms.c for iPXE. This not
run option rom at boot but makes it still visible in SeaBIOS menu. We
have external switch to enable/disable that behavior.
I believe this was the change:
