You can find instructions on embedding scripts at http://ipxe.org/embed#embedding_within_the_ipxe_binary To create a bootable USB image with an embedded script, you will need something like: make bin/ipxe.usb EMBED=myscript.ipxe where myscript.ipxe contains an iPXE script similar to: #!ipxe dhcp chain http://my.web.server/boot.php This image can then be transferred to a USB key using dd if=bin/ipxe.usb of=/dev/sdX You will need a Linux system in order to build iPXE (or any Unix-like system, such as Mac OS X).
