Syslinux - Jun 2008 - gPXE static IP parameter instead of DHCP

Hey *,

When using gPXE as a second stage loader, the computer will complete this
procedure:

POST/BIOS,
PXE (DHCP+TFTP) -> Download gPXE ROM,
Execute ROM,
Do a second DHCP request,
Download images with HTTP,

I was wondering if PXELinux/gPXE can give the gPXE-ROM some parameters
like a static IP based on the IP they got the first time, so it does not
have to do the second DHCP request.

I am using PXELINUX3.70-pre19.

Not yet.  It's on the TODO list for gPXE.
