Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/342

In the CentOS 7 ipxe file, "ip=dhcp" is hard-coded as a kernel option. This is a limitation, because, using a failsafe menu (m), you can in fact set a static IP address. Therefore, ideally, the ip=... parameter for the installer kernel should be generated on the fly from the information that the user entered when statically configured the network.

Facing the same issue, had reported this before @patrakov .

No dice, it just won't work, did you find any solution? Perhaps @antonym can have a second look.
