Hi Geert,

What do you mean by this line:

initrd URL://server.subdomain.tld/path/firmware/bnx.fw 
/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw

should the URL point to the local firmware file on the ipxe server, 
after coping it to /srv/tftp/ folder, something like this:

initrd tftp:///my.ipxe.server/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw 
/lib/firmware/bnx2x/bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.fw

Thanks
