<div>You probably want to use the agent driver, not the pxe one. It lets you use bootloaders from the image.

<div class="PlainText">Hi all,<br>
<br>
So, I have set up a devstack ironic setup for baremetal deployment. I<br>
have been able to deploy a baremetal node successfully using<br>
pxe_ipmitool driver. Now, I am trying to boot a server where I already<br>
have a bootloader i.e. I don't need pxelinux to go and fetch kernel and<br>
initrd images for me. I want to transfer them directly.<br>
<br>
I checked out the code and figured out that there are dhcp opts<br>
available, that are modified using pxe_utils.py, changing it didn't<br>
help. Then I moved to ironic.conf, but here also I only see an option to<br>
add pxe_bootfile_name, which is exactly what I want to avoid. Can anyone<br>
please help me with this situation? I don't want to go through<br>
pxelinux.0 bootloader, I just directly want to transfer kernel and<br>
initrd images.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
