      Hi all,

      (my english it’s not very good, sry for mistackes)

      I search every day (and night :)) for this …
      Is it possible to add “submenu” into boot PXE?

      I try to explain.

      when i boot on PXE, i’ve the boot menu.
      I have Advenced Menu

      In this menu, i would like to have 2 submenus

      One with “Diagnostic tools”
      Other with “install”

      For example 😛

      here, a copy fo my Advenced menu config (everything works properly)

      :MENU
      menu
      item sysrescue3.5 SystemRescue 3.5.0
      item ultimate UltimateBootCD 5.3.3
      item ubuntu14.04_64 Ubuntu 14.04 64 Bits
      item debian7.8_64 Debian 7.8 64 Bits
      item ThinkCenterDiag Diag ThinkCenter Lenovo
      item shell ipxe shell
      item return return to previous menu
      choose --default sysrescue3.5 --timeout 5000 target && goto ${target}

      :sysrescue3.5
      initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/sysrescue3.5.iso[/url]
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      :ultimate
      initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/Ultimate533.iso[/url]
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      :ubuntu14.04_64
      initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/install/ubuntu/ubuntu14.04_64.iso[/url]
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      :debian7.8_64
      initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/install/debian2/debian7.8_64.iso[/url]
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      :ThinkCenterDiag
      initrd [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/iso/ThinkCenterDiag.iso[/url]
      chain memdisk iso raw ||
      goto MENU

      :shell
      shell ||
      goto MENU

      :return
      chain [url]http://${fog-ip}/${fog-webroot}/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}[/url] ||
      prompt
      goto MENU

      autoboot

      My apologies, i’m on Ubuntu 14 with FOG 1.2
      Thx

              Try copying again. I’ve edited a bit and tested the code that is in the window above. It should help you out.

                      Tom, it appears you are directly accessing the Ubuntu ISO (in fact all your iso’s) without mounting first. I didn’t realize this was possible. This makes half of my tutorial method uneccessary :~) Do all iso’s work in this manner?

                        Tony,

                        I am not accessing any iso’s I am simply taking what was put and making it work for what Biet needed. Beyond that, some iso’s can be directly accessed and some need to be broken from the ISO and told to load their respective initrd and kernel. Which need the separation is directly based upon the ISO manufacturer.

                              Biet is correct. It really depends on the specific iso in question. Many need to be pre-mounted and have certain files (usually vmlinuz, and initrd) specified. Others will work directly from the iso. Fortunately the most common iso’s have been experimented with at this point and if you search the forum you can find the answers you need for your specific iso.

                                Amazing!!

                                I have tried to do something similar in my FOG server and works fine!

                                FOG server: 1.2.0 latest SVN installed
                                Operating System: Ubuntu 13.10 latest updates installed

                                1. I have understood very well your tutorial. Congratulations!
                                2. I have added a new menu entry in FOG boot menu (it is very easy I think)
                                3. Reading your notes, I have added a Live Ubuntu CD 14.04.2 i386 and it runned ok on client machine.

                                Thank you!

                                          I’m lost !! I use fog 1.2.0 and I want to add a pxe load of a wim (winpe) image to use MDT config to the menu .
                                          Which file do you edit ? Is it /tftpboot/default.ipxe ? I can’t see the name of the file you edit in this thread !

                                          Thx

                                            @lebrun78 there is no file name to edit. It’s the advanced menu which is edited from the GUI.
