Again, thank you very much, @george1421 for your amazing help, and you too, @Sebastian-Roth .

I guess it was a dumb question.
I heard of things like “serva” (though I couldn’t even test them due to the horrible degree of trial-ware-ness the have) where you just put an iso in a directory. But I already understand that there are so many different isos and there is just no standard to them that it is impossible to have it universal. Maybe it’d be cool to have some sort of auto support for the most widespread things people want to PXE boot, but all it really hangs on for me is being able to properly follow instructions, as the wiki is already all that is needed. :^)
I don’t want to spam this thread with off-topic questions. Again, thank you. Awesome that it works now, I understand that there is a balance between simplicity and flexibility, I was just wondering a little.

Have a great day.

@george1421
Yes, I will take this to heart, next time I have a problem in the future I will post shots right off the bat.
And you are right, it is amazing what can be done with the project.
Is it ever planned to make pxe booting “easier”?
(Just asking for curiousity now, I read in another post, maybe it was even by you, that it is very much not desired to have something else other than the imaging aspect be developed to a major degree where it could detract from the former.)

I have now tested this all on a more recent motherboard that is three years old.
It worked in bringing me to the fog menu while having “uefi only” set for the LAN Boot option. Success!
However, it still gives me that good old http://ipxe.org/err/3e11616e error code which redirects to http://ipxe.org/err/3e1161.
This can be seen on my screenshot below:

I linked the screenshots above, the dns address (my router) I get with <s> and <show dns> is correct by the way.

@nexx34 @george1421 Well, I am testing a different computer now, it is a desktop this time, and it has gotten past the “Can’t get NBP” stage, what is making me wonder now is that afterfirst loading default.ipxe via tftp and the others (boot.php and bg.png) via http it all stops and nothing happens anymore, it just stays there.

@george1421 Okay, I will have to get such a PC real quick, looks like lenovo FW is shoddy all the way, because I was sure to enable the uefi option in the uefi menu.

@george1421 Yes, it tells me what it had already told be before when I tried this, “NBP is too big to fit in free base memory”.
I would take this is a client issue, but seeing how I had something along those lines in testing with a VM too, I really am clueless as to why it is happening…I mean, the machine I am testing now is halfway modern, it is a more recent lenovo.

@nexx34 Sorry for being a little bit spammy, for me the suspicion is mounting, that when I boot into fog, the client will not boot with uefi and instead takes the CSM regardless of the option being there in pfsense for the uefi files to load.

@george1421 Okay, I will do that, let us see if it will accept booting fog with uefi enabled and the undionly crutch removed >:)

@george1421 Nope, I followed them exactly, I think the problem really lies at the entries about undionly/ipxe.efi/etc in the pfsense dhcp settings, as when using legacy boot it works (but fails to load the esxi image, as that is efi) but that is just what I am guessing right now.
