Re: Complete boot from a http server?

Hey Shao,

i have manually enter the commands in the CLI and got the following 
error after

chain ${210}pxelinux.0/
/Could not fetch 
68:74:74:70:3a:2f:2f:31:30:2e:31:30:2e:31:31:2e:31:32:32:2fpxelinux.0: 
Not supported (0x3c092003)

The dhcp and set command run without an error.

The version of gPXE is 0.9.7

Have you an idea?

Best regards
Daniel
