This will give you an iPXE EFI ROM; you'll see it show up as "EFI Network" in the EFI boot device selection screen, and it should thereafter look and feel similar to normal iPXE.<br>
<br>
There is no such thing as a non-EFI (aka BIOS or "legacy") ROM which is capable of loading an EFI image. Such a thing simply does not and can not exist.<br>

Up to know I've been using a modified version of ipxe that gives me a shell after initilizing the devices (just a modified main() function), so that I can load and boot any image over a network. I've always had all image types enabled in general.h and never had an issues when starting ipxe. Right now my system just reboots regardless of the not supported IMAGE_EFI. From my point of view this is a regression, because befor this commit ipxe started without glitches regardless if an image is supported or not. So even if the image is not supported then ipxe should gracefully continue initilization and not reboot the mashine....<br>
