@slimzy said in ipxe with sanboot:

is there a way to bind a root-path per item in the menu or we can’t?

I’m not sure I understand this ^^

But, I think I have an understanding of what is going on. I can see at the end of the kernel init it attempts to contact the local cdrom. If it doesn’t find it the kernel then starts the network install bits. When you pxe boot I can get the kali linux loader to work (without the dvd iso image). It loads and the reaches out to the internet to download what it needs and completes the installation. I suspect that when you boot off the cdrom that it loads the files directly from the dvd and does not reach out to the internet.
