Want to be able to use ipxe.uefi for EFI servers

John,

I have excluded iPXE from the list of PXE loaders because I could not find enough information about how to set things up. Looks like documentation on that is sparse:

http://ipxe.org/efi/vision

Can you describe how to setup for iPXE UEFI and/or point me on some documents that describes that? I'd like to test that before we ship that option, want to be also sure the filename is correct.

It is possible to HTTP BOOT EFI systems, we already have a RFC for that:

https://github.com/theforeman/rfcs/pull/14/files

This might be even more interesting for you, feel free to add your comments there. We might want to implement both in one patch.
