This isn't a bug, but a question (or maybe feature request).
I'm running grub4dos in a PXE configuration.
Trying to integrate ArchLinux netinstall on my server, I noticed that pxelinux can append the network configuration (ip address, netmask, etc) with the IPAPPEND command (http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/SYSLINUX#IPAPPEND_flag_val_.5BPXELINUX_only.5D).
Is there a way to get something similar done with grub4dos?
Or, if not as a workaround, is there a way to load pxelinux with a configuration file, that just loads ArchLinux via tftp?

Posted on Feb 15, 2013 by Quick GiraffeHello, I had the same problem and I am using ipxe(.org) as a work around solution: I use grldr as my primary boot loader (to either boot from a local hdd or usb or for a pxe boot) then I chainload to ipxe with the desired arguments which could be some network parameters such as the gateway, or leverage some enhanced features such as a fast http (big iso) download. But for this I had to disable the special "&&" characters handling of grldr (cf issue 113). This setup works great for me and I hope that this will help you work around your problem ... Best Regards, Gilles
