[ipxe-devel] file uri

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

Hello Michael,

local files can be addressed as

file:///path/filename.ext

according to RFC 1738.

iPXE deviates from this notation by using

file:/path/filename.ext

Unfortunately on none of the pages

http://ipxe.org/cmd/chain
http://ipxe.org/cmd/kernel

a file uri is shown.

Especially for the chain command it makes sense to use a local file. 
This way recompiling snp.efi for every change in the iSCSI target 
settings can be avoided.

The only description I found was in
http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/9913a40

As RFC 1738 does not describe volume labels I think it would be 
noteworthy to mention this feature too.

Could you, please, update the documentation.

Best regards

Heinrich
