        @goempie I did a little looking, the below thread over at ipxe.org may be of interest to you:

        http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?tid=7052

        There’s an example in there that someone claimed works. It might need adjusted though as those posts are from 2013.

        If you get it working, please do list your steps.

          :hbcd
          #open iso with iso editor and remove pmagic to make it ligther
          initrd ${boot-url}/images/hbcd152.iso
          kernel ${boot-url}/memdisk iso raw || goto failed
          boot || goto failed
          goto start

          In the above example they are pointing to the *.iso file itself.
          So this means that they don’t mount the iso on the fog server?

            @goempie Looks that way, yes. And looks like they are using the standard Memdisk kernel too.

              @goempie But I don’t think that fog has a boot-url iPXE variable. You may need to piece that together with the fog-ip variable and set a path like in the other examples.

                @Wayne-Workman what is the path to the memdisk kernel?

                  at is the path to the memdisk kernel?

                  Look at the boot menu entry for memdisk… You should be able to see it through the web interface.

                      I pulled this from the boot.php output when I gave it a registered MAC as a parameter.
                      http://x.x.x.x/fog/service/ipxe/boot.php?mac0=00:1e:37:54:9b:70

                      kernel memdisk iso raw
                      initrd memtest.bin
                      boot || goto MENU

                        I moved the hbcd.iso to the directory /var/www/fog/iso/hbcd.iso
                        Then i changed the menu entry, but no party

                        :hbcd
                        #open iso with iso editor and remove pmagic to make it ligther
                        set path /fog/iso
                        set nfs_path /var/www/fog/iso/15.04_64
                        initrd ${fog-ip}${path}/fog/iso/hbcd.iso
                        kernel ${fog-ip}$ kernel memdisk iso raw || goto failed
                        boot || goto failed
                        goto start

                          @goempie the pathing is wrong. you already have /fog/iso in your path variable, don’t need to do it again.

                          also I don’t think you have to specify an IP for the memdisk kernel.

                            :hbcd
                            #open iso with iso editor and remove pmagic to make it ligther
                            initrd ${fog-ip}/fog/iso/hbcd.iso
                            kernel memdisk iso raw || goto failed

                              goto start
                              

                              also - make sure the permissions on the iso are good, can you see it in a web browser?

                                Yep i can see the iso in the browser and can download it.

                                  This is what i see when i go to /fog/service/ipxe/boot.php

                                  So i don’t think tha the :hbcd in the begining is necessary.
                                  But i deleted it and stil it doesn’t work.

                                  :hirensbcd
                                  :hbcd

                                    I did a little digging - this thread looks very promising:

                                    https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/3229/ipxe-iso-boot-problems

                                    Specifically this post:

                                    @csurepair said in IPXE ISO boot problems:

                                    Wahoo!!

                                    Shes up and running! Thank you both for the feedback, you guys deserve a beer! If your ever in Fort Collins, Colorado PM me haha.

                                    So for everyone else my problem was totally due to syntax and directory location,

                                    By changing CODE initrd ${fog-ip}/fog/iso/Hirens152.iso[/CODE] to CODE initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/iso/Hirens152.iso[/CODE] iPXE was able to fully resolve the path. This was only accomplished by making iPXE produce some sort of feedback via the below code(most graciously posted by Junkhacker),

                                    menu
                                    item --gap – ---------------- iPXE boot menu ----------------
                                    item BOOTCD Hirens BOOTCD
                                    item shell ipxe shell
                                    choose target && goto ${target}

                                    :BOOTCD
                                    initrd 192.168.1.130/fog/iso/Hirens152.iso ||
                                    echo failed to load iso if it stops here
                                    prompt
                                    chain memdisk iso raw ||
                                    echo failed to chain memdisk if it stops here
                                    prompt
                                    boot ||
                                    echo failed to boot here if it stops here
                                    prompt
                                    goto MENU

                                    :shell

                                    autoboot[/CODE]

                                      Ok getting there.

                                      initrd http://${fog-ip}/fog/service/ipxe/iso/hbcd.iso ||
                                      echo failed to load iso if it stops here
                                      prompt
                                      chain memdisk iso raw ||
                                      echo failed to chain memdisk if it stops here
                                      prompt
                                      boot ||
                                      echo failed to boot here if it stops here
                                      prompt
                                      goto MENU

                                      When i boot i see that it downloads the iso then it comes to 100% and then i get the message

                                      failed to load iso if it stops here

                                        IT WORKS 🙂

                                        After the promt i just have to hit enter and then the hirens boots.

                                        Thanks for the help.

                                        I wil try to make a small guide on how to do it.

                                            Hey! Thanks for the topic!

                                            If it does not exist

                                            mkdir /var/www/fog/iso
                                            

                                            Copy ISO file

                                            cp SOURCE_PATH/ISO_FILE /var/www/fog/iso
                                            

                                            Add

                                            /var/www/fog/iso * (ro, sync, no_wdelay, insecure_locks, no_root_squash, insecure )
                                            

                                            in

                                            /etc/exports
                                            

                                            Run

                                            sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart
                                            sudo service rpcbind restart
                                            

                                            Add a new menu in FOG WEB GUI

                                            initrd  http://${fog-ip}/fog/iso/ISO_FILE.iso
                                            chain memdisk iso raw
                                            

                                            WORKED PERFECTLY!
