You can use the "exit" command to exit out from iPXE and boot the next device 
in the BIOS boot order: see http://ipxe.org/cmd/exit

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 
http://ipxe.org/cmd/sanboot):

  sanboot --drive 0x80

Hope that helps,
