[syslinux] 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. -- Matthew Steggink

It's on the TODO list for gPXE. -hpa
