Details:

        Support for PXE boot images added.  Now you may load
        and pass control to any specified PXE image (such as Microsoft
        Remote Installation Services or Symantec Ghost loaders).
        PXE image can be on a local storage as well.

        Example#1:
            pxeloader (nd)/etherboot.zpxe       // download and run
etherboot
            boot                                // PXE loader

        Example#2:
            tftpserver 192.168.10.20            // set TFTP server
            pxeloader (nd)/ghost/ghost.ldr      // download ghost.ldr
            pxesetbf \asus-80g\ghost.ldr        // emulate it's name
                                                // (ghost expects
backslashes)
            boot                                // finally boot

        Example#3:
            pxexit                              // exit from pxegrub
                                                // BIOS will try to boot
system from
                                                // next source (like hdd or
floppy)

        Example#4:
            pxeinfo                             // print most valuable
information
                                                // about current PXE
environment

        Additional descriptions of newly added commands can be found
executing

            help pxe

        command.

        Note. This works only on PXE-enabled NICs and only from pxegrub.

        Please review and test the patch and let me know if it works for you
as for me. :) Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Best regards,
Dmitry N. Hramtsov
