Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/249

Hi,

reading the excellent https://netboot.xyz/booting/tftp/edgerouter/, I would propose the following enhancement:

don't install any new package (tftpd) that will likely not survive any firmware update, use the TFTP server embedded into dnsmasq (DNS server of edgerouter) for this
save PXE payload into the user data section of the firmware to survice firmware update (/config/user-data)

So my proposal:

upon configuring the router (ssh, then configure); introduce the following commands:

set service dns forwarding  options enable-tftp
set service dns forwarding  options tftp-root=/config/user-data
set service dhcp-server global-parameters "option client-arch code 93 = unsigned integer 16;"
edit service dhcp-server shared-network-name LAN subnet 10.10.2.0/24
set bootfile-server 10.10.2.1
set bootfile-name netboot.xyz.kpxe
commit
save

perform the curl command in the following directory:

sudo curl -o /config/user-data/netboot.xyz.kpxe https://boot.netboot.xyz/ipxe/netboot.xyz.kpxe

Tested fine on my edgerouter lite 3 with 1.10.5 software version.

Sounds good to me, would you like to make a PR towards the docs here?

https://github.com/antonym/netboot.xyz-site/blob/master/content/booting/tftp/edgerouter/_index.md

I'm in the process of moving the docs out of the main repo to a doc site.

Thanks!
