Hi folks:

  Using gpxe without problems as a basic PXE loader, and it is working
well.  What I want to do is setup menu entries to setup iscsi boot
from the menu.  I am using memdisk for bios boot updates like this:

LABEL Bios Update
        kernel memdisk
        append initrd=biosupdate/16MB-bios-update.img


What I'd like to do is understand how to do the same thing with iSCSI
boot.  Say I have a .iso image from a boot CD/DVD.  I'd like to do
something like this:

LABEL BootCD
        kernel undionly.kpxe
        append sanboot scsi:crunch::::iqn.2009-12.jr4:BootCD

Is this basically correct?  Do I need a different kernel in there?

Thanks!

Joe
