That's no longer a debian-live question, so if you have any further
questions regarding this, you should ask on the ipxe forums or IRC
channel, if Google doesn't help you.
Here's a sample boot.ipxe file for you:
#!ipxe
kernel /foo/bar/vmlinuz.lkrn quickreboot boot=live
fetch=http://${net0.dhcp/next-server:ipv4}/foo/bar/live.iso noeject
live-config quiet splash
initrd /foo/bar/initrd.img
boot
that's 3 lines, lines are starting with "kernel", "initrd" and "boot".
