While I admire your ambition, giving detailed instructions on how people should build an unsupported iPXE package from source is not something we should be doing in our virt guide.

RHEL-6 currently ships gPXE as our supported PXE ROMs package. If our gPXE roms RPM contains the neccessary ROM for this hardware, then the docs can point people in the direction of this pre-built ROM we distribute. If not, then the we just have to document that PXE boot is not supported for this hardware. Then either file an RFE against gPXE in RHEL-6, or lets users wait until RHEL-7 when we ship iPXE.

Yes, correct.
