<![CDATA[Adding Deploying images to the main iPXE menu without need to login]]>Hi all, this is my first topic here šŸ™‚
I have a very simple request as I really exhausted all ChatGPT brains trying to find the correct parameter to make a new menu item for iPXE to deploy either win.10 or win.11 and I failed

I managed to create the items both inside the menu and mark them for unregistered hosts but it fails to deploy. I actually tried to amend the original one but failed to deploy too.

Original Deploy image param. :

login
params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param username ${username}
param password ${password}
param qihost 1
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme

what ChatGPT asked me to input for my menu item (Auto Win.10 Deploy) in the param was:

params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param type down
param imageID 1
chain http://192.168.1.5/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php##params || goto bootme

and many others like :

boot.php?mac=${net0/mac}&imageID=2&type=down

also suggested amending the original one to remove the need for login but also failed:

params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
isset ${net1/mac} && param mac1 ${net1/mac} || goto bootme
isset ${net2/mac} && param mac2 ${net2/mac} || goto bootme
chain http://192.168.1.5/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac=${net0/mac} || goto bootme

Any solution please šŸ™‚ ? I have spent 7.5 hrs trying that I really gave up

All replies are welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you all.

effectively your boot menu likely needs to be:

params
param mac0 ${net0/mac}
param arch ${arch}
param qihost 1
kernel bzImage loglevel=4 initrd=init.xz root=/dev/ram0 rw ramdisk_size=127000 web=http://${fog-ip}/fog/ consoleblank=0 rootfstype=ext4 mac= ftp=<storageIPHere> storage=<storageIPHere>:/images/ storageip=<storageIPHere> irqpoll chkdsk=0 capone=1 type=down img=<imageNameHere> imgType=n imgPartitionType=all imgid=2 osid=<imageOSIDHere> imgFormat=<imageFormatHere>
imgfetch init.xz
boot

Replacing as appropriate:
<storageIPHere>
<imageNameHere>
<imageOSIDHere>
<imageFormatHere>

with your relevant information.

Ultimately finding these pieces of data relevant to your specific image will be the hardest part, but once done I believe this will do what you are wanting/hoping.
