Even using qemu, I am still interested in a way to chainload a more featureful iPXE from a less featureful one using dnsmasq.

[Dnsmasq-discuss] Chainloading a more featureful iPXE from a limited iPXE
(I hope this isn't in a FAQ somewhere that I was unable to find...) VirtualBox uses iPXE for it's boot BIOS but the feature set is quite limited (due to lack of space apparently). I would like to boot URIs such as HTTPS and use commands such as sanboot which requires a newer, more featureful iPXE. https://gist.github.com/robinsmidsrod/4008017 shows how to chainboot a different iPXE using DHCPD. I would like to do something similar only using dnsmasq. Has anyone been successful in doing this and have a config they can share? Work around: a newer iPXE can be obtained by booting ipxe.iso instead of using the built-in iPXE. (But I would like to figure out how to do it strictly over the network.)
