#!ipxe
initrd http://mirror.its.sfu.ca/mirror/CentOS/6/os/${arch}/images/pxeboot/initrd.img || goto failed
kernel http://mirror.its.sfu.ca/mirror/CentOS/6/os/${arch}/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img \ method=http://mirror.its.sfu.ca/mirror/CentOS/6/os/${arch}/ ip=dhcp ksdevice=bootif dhcptimeout=240 ||
