Unfortunately HTTP boot only works as far as the kernel: UEFI fetches loader.efi, the loader fetches and runs the kernel over HTTP -- and then you need to use NFS to mount the filesystem (or have a local root filesystem). UEFI also has RamDisk support, but I don't think that's for remote ISO/disk files, just local files. -- Rebecca CranReceived on Tue Jun 16 2020 - 16:25:20 UTC
