Yes, and you can use the same variable to specify the path to the
download server for the squashfs image.  So where is your problem?
*confused look*


How? iPXE changes DHCP option 209 and 210 to use HTTP instead of TFTP and points to the local server.

Can the "fetch" parameter be sent as a DHCP option?
