How to PXE boot non-UKI images with AuroraBoot (alternative to uki-pxe)?

[AlexanderTheGrey]

Is there a way to serve non-UKI PXE boot files (e.g. plain ISO) with AuroraBoot, or is uki-pxe the only option? I'm looking for a method to PXE boot non-UKI images after they've been created.

Did you try to pxe boot the non-UKI file using uki-pxe command? I suspect it's going to work... I don't recall us doing anything uki specific in that command so maybe it's just a bad name.

Yes, it appears to start up correctly with a non-UKI image. I wasn’t able to test it earlier due to the netboot bug, but now that it’s resolved, it seems to be working. That said, I haven’t yet tested serving the netboot file via PXE.

BTW, the uki-pxe uses only http boot. When I started on it, I wanted to do pxe and http, but as http was way simpler and faster, I dropped the pxe part for now.

So if you want and can use http boot, go for uki-pxe. If you need pure PXE, you will have to resort to the normal auroraboot pxe server for non Trusted Boot images :)
