Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/335

Attempting to boot the Manjaro 18.0.4 ISO results in an out of memory error after the initial Manjaro boot menu.

The virtual machine this was tested on is configured for 16G of RAM. So, I don't believe this is a limitation of the system being boot, but rather an error/issue with either iPXE or the configuration.

The iso appears to be over 2GB and memdisk I believe starts having issues with files that large in size because it's loading the ISO into the 32-bit address space which starts getting tight on space. We'd probably need them to either provide a smaller minimal ISO or extract and host a version that has the kernels and rootfs extracted out so we could more properly boot the ISO. Using memdisk and a giant ISO, unfortunately, isn't very scalable for this kind of tool.

Agreed, but figured you would want to know that the menu entry you're hosting/offering is currently broken.

Thanks for the heads up... may have to look into removing it.

It can be booted through loop mounting similar to how Arch Linux is booted. If you'd like I can post my config or create a PR based on my config when I'm finished with it.
