Package: ipxe
Version: 1.0.0+git-1.293e34-2
Severity: wishlist

Now that iPXE is in Debian, it'd be very nice to have a grub-ipxe binary
package generated from the same iPXE source package, that would put
ipxe.krn in the grub2 menu.

Use case: a user installs grub-ipxe, reboots, gets a new grub entry to
"PXE - Network boot", selects it, and netboots his computer.

Proposed implementation:
 * Put ipxe.lkrn to /boot
 * Use /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ as a template for a new grub hook
   in /etc/grub.d/grub-ipxe
 * Call update-grub on grub-gpxe.postinst


1 year ago I had made a similar grub-gpxe package, if needed it source
is accessible in

Thank you for getting iPXE to Debian!
