<div>I'm bringing up a set of iPXE scripts on an Ampere
Computing eMAG (aarch64) system. I chain load the <a
href="http://boot.netboot.xyz" moz-do-not-send="true">boot.netboot.xyz</a>
menu, which loads fine, OS distros are present as expected,
but none will execute an install.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The root cause is the URL configurations. The linux install
URLs are almost always wrong for aarch64 builds of these
distributions. It's easy to see in Ubuntu's case where the
standard base URL as set in boot.cfg (line 66) is set to <a
href="http://archive.ubuntu.com" moz-do-not-send="true">archive.ubuntu.com</a>,
however, all of the aarch64 builds exist and are hosted on <a
href="http://ports.ubuntu.com" moz-do-not-send="true">ports.ubuntu.com</a>.
When loading and executing a boot through the menu a
file-not-found error is given. I can replicate this across
CentOS, Fedora, and Ubuntu (all major versions of each). I
haven't checked other distros, but I assume the problem is
consistent. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What's the best way to move forward? I'm happy to help in
whatever way I can, but I'm a complete PXE/iPXE noob and would
need some guidance on making the correct code changes in the
correct ways for a pull request. Otherwise, I'm happy to
assist another developer in hunting down the correct URL
configurations for each of these distros. Please advise.</div>

<p>While waiting for proper help, document how to reproduce what you
already have.</p>
<p>Start with explaining what an Ampere Computing eMAG (aarch64)
system is.</p>
