    @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.

    Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!

      @Wayne-Workman
      :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

                    @Wayne-Workman
                    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
                        boot || goto failed

                          try

                          :hbcd
                          #open iso with iso editor and remove pmagic to make it ligther

                          boot || 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

                                  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!
