You can include an embedded script, which I think is what you want. There's some documentation about this at http://ipxe.org/scripting#embedded_scripts At the moment, this still requires you to compile iPXE, but you don't have to modify any source code. All you need to do is create a custom script such as my_script.ipxe: #!ipxe dhcp chain http://server/fixed-boot-url and then build iPXE using make bin/undionly.kpxe EMBEDDED_IMAGE=my_script.ipxe (assuming that undionly.kpxe is the type of iPXE binary that you want to use). > .. that way default binary package could have an integrated reference to > "include default.ipxe", which maybe can be loaded aside "boot.kpxe" binary > using the same protocol before run .. this could give us the freedom and > ease to write a "default.ipxe" config file according with our needs and > without needing of edit and recompile entire code At some point soon(ish), there will be a web interface that allows you to build iPXE images without having to compile it yourself.

There are usually around 30 people in the IRC channel (including me), and many of us would be happy to help you there.
