I'd suggest: #!ipxe dhcp || chain tftp://cobbler.server/boot.file || The script should probably be a little smarter, and you might need/want to set the $next-server variable in there. Regardless, you can modify that script file, or have a number of them at the ready to use in a boot menu that you put on the USB stick/CD you boot your machines from. Regards, Andrew
