📄 Description

See #342 but this pull request is not limited to CentOS.

I have verified that all Linux distributions offered by linux.ipxe. Status with the static IP configured via the failsafe menu:

Alpine boots correctly only if the first network card is used
Arch relies on http://ip.address.of.mirror/ to work (bug reported upstream)
Gentoo and IPFire do not boot at all, also before my patches
RHEL not tested
Everything else in the menu works

Regarding Gentoo, the snapshot offered is very old, and it is possible to use third-party live/rescue Linux systems to install Gentoo anyway. So - maybe drop it?

Regarding rescue tools offered by netboot.xyz, I have not tested them. It's possible that they require similar fixes. However, before working on them, I would like to confirm whether the general approach is OK.

Oh, and there seems to be a variable, ${netcfg}, in Debian-related iPXE files, but I can't find a place where it is set.
