Adrian-Ken Rueegsegger	8eec092851	Add support for ipxe load (nova, foc, fiasco) ... This makes use of the iPXE sanboot command [1] which downloads and boots an ISO image directly via HTTP. Therefore, your RUN_OPT needs both --include image/iso and --include load/ipxe NOTE: The webserver serving the ISO image must support ranged requests, see [2].

Adrian-Ken Rueegsegger	94afc1a340	run: support loading images via iPXE/HTTP ... iPXE is an open source network boot firmware which supports booting from a web server via HTTP [1]. The following two parameters can be used to specify the iPXE/HTTP setup: --load-ipxe-base-dir This parameter specifies the base directory of the HTTP server from which the target machine downloads the files. --load-ipxe-boot-dir The directory relative to iPXE base dir which contains the iPXE chainload configuration and all necessary files. The target machine is expected to request the following iPXE configuration via HTTP: http://${HOST_URL}/${ipxe-boot-dir}/boot.cfg This can be achieved by building iPXE with the following embedded script: #!ipxe dhcp chain http://${HOST_URL}/${ipxe-boot-dir}/boot.cfg See also [2] for additional information.
