Hello
No that's not what I'm trying to do. I'm alreay able to web-boot Debian Live as it is documented in the manual. Please see the function deb_live in the script http://boot.salstar.sk/deb.ipxe or try it out ;)
What would like to do is to directly boot off an ISO file by feeding it to memdisk :
LINUX http://myserver/memdisk
INITRD http://live.debian.net/cdimage/release/stable/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-7.6.0-amd64-standard.iso
APPEND iso
This method works great with Clonezilla yet :
MENU BEGIN clonezilla-stable Cloud ISO from sf
label clonezilla-stable
menu label clonezilla-stable clonezilla-live-2.2.4-12-amd64.iso
kernel http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cloudboot/small_img/memdisk
append initrd=http://cloudboot.nchc.org.tw/cloudboot/get_image.php?file=clonezilla-live-2.2.4-12-amd64.iso&mirror=sf&type=iso&proj=clonezilla-stable iso raw
Source : http://cloudboot.nchc.org.tw/cloudboot/BOOTMENU.php?boot=clonezilla-stable
D. Baumann started to work on this some time ago : http://live.debian.net/gitweb/?p=live-boot.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=e08c082e758afa3341a9ebb6e00927d9873c7230
IMHO adding the two missing modules would do the trick.
