You can use the "exit" command to exit out from iPXE and boot the next device
in the BIOS boot order: see <a href="http://ipxe.org/cmd/exit" target="_blank">http://ipxe.org/cmd/exit</a>
In some cases, you may need to explicitly boot from a local disk, rather than
trying to exit to the BIOS. For this, you can use the "sanboot" command (see
<a href="http://ipxe.org/cmd/sanboot" target="_blank">http://ipxe.org/cmd/sanboot</a>):
sanboot --drive 0x80
Hope that helps,
Michael
