[ipxe-devel] Can't boot from CD Rom

[Jose Mencia]

Hello Cristian,

I created the mention below script that it is embedded when I make the .usb or .iso file. However, the menu shows fine on a usb flash drive but from the CD, it always want to hit Ctrl B and it doesn't show the menu instead it displays:

No such file or directory

On the usb shows the menu fine and when I click Continue, it connects to ipxe server but from CD Rom never gets to Menu. I don't know why it behaves like that from a CD.

Thank you for your quick respond.
