iPXE is a PXE boot firmware which can be used to PXE boot systems that may not have support. iPXE supersedes the older and no longer actively maintained gPXE boot firmware.
Building
The following script will build iPXE with an embedded script which automatically boots from a HTTP resource.
git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
cd git
cat <<EOF > arch.ipxe
#!ipxe
dhcp
set 209:string cfg/arch.cfg
set 210:string http://linbuild.cs.ucalgary.ca/archlinux/boot/
chain ${210:string}pxelinux.0
EOF
make bin/ipxe.lkrn EMBED=arch.ipxe
Troubleshooting
If you get the following error while building:
[VERSION] bin/version.udionly.kpxe.o
[LD] bin/udionly.kpxe.tmp
--defsym:2: undefined symbol `obj_udionly' referenced in expression
make: *** [bin/udionly.kpxe.tmp] Error 1
