      @shaun With a web browser, can you access these two files?

      Replace the x’s with your FOG IP address and plug these into a browser’s address bar. What do you see? What happens?

      http://x.x.x.x/tftpboot/pmagic/partedmagic/pmagic/bzImage
      http://x.x.x.x/tftpboot/pmagic/partedmagic/pmagic/initrd.img

      I think I know the answer already, but I’m trying to shove you in the right direction so you can figure it out on your own… look at @Thiago 's example again…

      Thank you for your patience gang, Yes it says the requested url does not exist on the server with 404 so i did create a link within /fog/service/ipxe/ and it came UP! Then failed…LOL failed to load fu.sqfs …sheesh… at least we are on the right track before drailing…

      Well what ive done is the following:
      :PMagic2015
      kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/partedmagic/pmagic/bzImage
      initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/partedmagic/pmagic/initrd.img <----
      imgargs bzImage edd=off noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=791 sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us
      boot || echo Failed to boot
      prompt

      Is where i want to change according to the sample_pxelinux.cfg with partedmagic is the following:

      Boot the kernel and initramfs over PXE 32-bit.

      LABEL pmagic32
      LINUX pmagic/bzImage
      INITRD pmagic/initrd.img,pmagic/fu.img,pmagic/m32.img,pmagic/files.cgz
      APPEND edd=on vga=normal

      Do i have to put multiple http://$(fog-ip)… after initrd??

        So what ive done so far:
        -> Copied the mounted iso to a folder
        -> chmod 777 the entire folder now located in /var/www/fog/service/ipxe/partedmagic
        had the following:
        :PMagic2015
        kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/partedmagic/pmagic/bzImage
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/partedmagic/pmagic/initrd.img
        imgargs bzImage edd=off noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=791 sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us
        boot || echo Failed to boot
        prompt
        goto start

        It would start to load then fail with
        mount /dev/loop252 failed to find superblock
        fu.sqfs failed to mount

        Looked at the sample_pxelinux.cfg again from parted magic

        Boot the kernel and initramfs over PXE 32-bit.

        LABEL pmagic32
        LINUX pmagic/bzImage
        INITRD pmagic/initrd.img,pmagic/fu.img,pmagic/m32.img,pmagic/files.cgz
        APPEND edd=on vga=normal

        Tried to make that work:

        :PMagic2015
        kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/partedmagic/pmagic/bzImage
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/partedmagic/pmagic/initrd.img,http://$(fog-ip)/fog/service/ipxe/partedmagic/pmagic/fu.img,http://$(fog-ip)/fog/service/ipxe/partedmagic/pmagic/m32.img,http://$(fog-ip)/fog/service/ipxe/partedmagic/pmgaic/files/cgz
        imgargs bzImage edd=off noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=791 sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us
        boot || echo Failed to boot
        prompt
        goto start

        Which then goes straight to Windows 7 startup…

        Looked up the mount loop252 error and found looks like the kernel is trying to mount iso so got the pmagic pxe file and untarred int /fog/service/ipxe/

        From their stanza.txt
        DEFAULT pmagic32

        LABEL pmagic32
        LINUX pmagic/bzImage
        INITRD pmagic/initrd.img,pmagic/fu.img,pmagic/m32.img,pmagic/files.cgz
        APPEND edd=on vga=normal

        First tried with:
        :PMagic2015
        kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/bzImage
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/initrd.img
        imgargs bzImage edd=off noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=791 sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us max_loop=256 vmall
        boot || echo Failed to boot
        prompt
        goto start

        That still came up with failed to mount /dev/loop252 fu.sqfs so I changed it to:

        :PMagic2015
        kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/bzImage
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/initrd.img,http://$(fog-ip)/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/fu.img,http://$(fog-ip)/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/m32.img,http://$(fog-ip)/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/files.cgz
        imgargs bzImage edd=on noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us
        boot || echo Failed to boot
        prompt
        goto start

        Which fails and goes straight to windows 7 boot.

        I guess it comes down to how do i add:
        INITRD pmagic/initrd.img,pmagic/fu.img,pmagic/m32.img,pmagic/files.cgz
        as a 1 liner??

        This
        initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/initrd.img,http://$(fog-ip)/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/fu.img,http://$(fog-ip)/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/m32.img,http://$(fog-ip)/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/files.cgz

        Fails.

        Thanks for both your patience and help!

            @shaun ok… going to try to point you into the right direction.

            Take copies of the init and kernel, and put just those in a web folder somewhere. Put the ISO into an NFS exported directory. /images is already exported. you could put it in something like /images/pmagic/YourIsoHere.iso

            Doing those two things, and making changes as needed to the kernel and initrd paths, you next need to load the iso.

            Look at the hirens boot cd example in the wiki. Here’s the lines that load and then cause the boot to happen.

            set nfs_path /var/www/fog/ISO/15.04_64
imgargs vmlinuz.efi root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:${nfs_path} ip=dhcp splash quiet – || read void
boot || read void

            Of course, that’s for hirens.

            For this, if you’re using the already good to go /images directory as I suggested above, this might look something like:

            set nfs_path /images/pmagic
imgargs bzimage root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:${nfs_path} ip=dhcp splash quiet – || read void
boot || read void

            Also - we might not get this on the first try. And - it may be a good idea to ask the guys over at ipxe.org They are friendly and have helped me before. -> http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=5948

              Thanks very much for your patience and it did indeed lead me to the right cliff to jump off of.

              set nfs_path /images/pmagic
              kernel http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/bzImage
              initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/initrd.img
              initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/files.cgz
              initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/fu.img
              initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/pmagic/m32.img
              imgargs bzImage root=/dev/nfs boot=live netboot=nfs nfsroot=${fog-ip}:${nfs_path} ip=dhcp edd=on noapic load_ramdisk=1 prompt_ramdisk=0 rw vga=normal sleep=0 loglevel=0 keymap=us splash quiet - || read void
              boot || read void
              prompt
              goto start

              Works! I had to move the inits around a bit so files had to come first then fu the m32 and also works in 64 as well. Thanks Thiago and Wayne!

                    @shaun This has been added to the Wiki here: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Include_any_ISO_in_the_FOG_Bootmenu

                    I filled in the gaps that @shaun left out, because we still needed mounting and such and he didn’t include that. And because he didn’t include a specific parted magic version, I dated the content in the article itself so that hopefully future readers can google search and find the version it applies to.
