[ipxe-devel] autoexec.ipxe and UEFI secure boot ?

2021-04-04 Thread Etienne Champetier
Hi all, Since https://github.com/ipxe/ipxe/commit/a3f1e8fb6707811e6eb90e339d7ebe813fd89a63, iPXE load autoexec.ipxe from filesystem allowing pretty much the same use case as embedding configuration without the need to recompile iPXE binary. Now I'm wondering would it allow say RedHat to provide

Hello iPXE devs, The text at https://ipxe.org/appnote/debian_preseed suggests that you can load a non cpio file, put it as initrd= param, and that even for EFI mode iPXE will make a cpio for you. In my testing (and as discussed here https://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=7830=11948#pid11948 by
