[ipxe-devel] Script to run ipxe

[Christian Nilsson]

I'm gonna assume that Image is a Linux kernel, and that you are still
using efi, then you must also add initrd=initrd.ext2.gz as an
argument. This is to let the kernel know which data from EFIFS it
should load.

See this forum post for a better and more full explanation:
