using iPXE to boot ISOs via HTTP or iSCSI

[n3gwg]

iPXE users, developers, et alia:

If I wish to setup an environment (in a VM lets say) to host ISOs to be able to boot via iPXE. It became known to me that the easiest way (for testing at least) was to run "ruby -run -ehttpd . -p8080" from the directory with the ISOs in it. Indeed, iPXE was able to access the directory to try to load an ISO, but alas, I was unable to boot anything.

I tried several different combinations of sanboot and memdisk.

If anyone has any recommendations of what they got to work, I'd like to know so I can try it (I know not all ISOs are created the same, so there is no guarantee if it worked for you it will work for me).

Thanks in advance!
