Netbootxyz will not load proxmox 8-4-1 iso
Describe the bug
My server which runs netbootxyz (no dockers, simple dnsmasq and nginx) says that there is no space left to load the iso

Here is the config of netbootxyz for the proxmox menu:

:boot-pve
set kernel_url ${live_endpoint}/asset-mirror/releases/download/8.4-1-613c19ff/
set proxmox_version 8.4-1
imgfree
kernel ${kernel_url}vmlinuz vga=791 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr ramdisk_size=16777216 rw quiet ${params} initrd=initrd.magic ${cmdline}
initrd ${kernel_url}initrd
initrd ${kernel_url}proxmox.iso /proxmox.iso
boot

Take note that i am relatively new to the whole concept of ipxe as i started this 3 weeks ago.

Here is a photo of the error:

I thought that i may need to increase the disksize ram but i have no idea if i should or not.

If anyone can help it would be apreciated

Unable to reproduce, 8.4.1 works from within a Proxmox VM, sounds like you may need more RAM as it's trying to load the ISO into RAM.

The server where netbootxyz is hosted has 64GB ram and the server where i am trying to install it has 32GB ram.
Take note that they are both physical servers and not VMs so i doubt that i am missing ram can you or someone else try with physical servers instead of vms

I can confirm having the same issue, also bare metal.
Weird about it is, the same server next to it, boots fine, triple checked boot options etc.
The affected server error's out like yours.

This happens when using legacy instead of UEFI.

both Specs:
dual socket intel xeon 36 cores
768GB RAM
