We currently expect to find either a cached DHCP packet (from a UEFI PXE boot) or a URI device path (from a UEFI HTTP boot), but not both simultaneously. When both are present, the cached DHCP packet will currently override any current working URI that was previously derived from a URI device path. Treat the URI device path as being more informative than the cached DHCP packet by swapping the order in which these are processed. Leave the boot option device path as being a lower priority than a cached DHCP packet, since the boot option device path may well refer to an earlier boot stage.

iPXE network bootloader
iPXE is the leading open source network boot firmware. It provides a full PXE implementation enhanced with additional features such as:
-
boot from a web server via HTTP or HTTPS,
-
boot from an iSCSI, FCoE, or AoE SAN,
-
control the boot process with a script,
You can use iPXE to replace the existing PXE ROM on your network card, or you can chainload into iPXE to obtain the features of iPXE without the hassle of reflashing.
iPXE is free, open-source software licensed under the GNU GPL (with some portions under GPL-compatible licences).
You can download the rolling release binaries (built from the latest commit), or use the most recent stable release.
