### Boot as a Linux Kernel from Extlinux or Grub
The ipxe.lkrn file can be booted as a Linux kernel from the bootloader. This can be useful for providing a diagnostic tool as part of the OS or even having a quick option to reprovision the server on the fly.
#### Booting from Extlinux
Edit /boot/extlinux.conf and add a simple entry:
LABEL ipxe-boot
kernel /boot/ipxe.lkrn
initrd /boot/ipxe-config.ipxe
The kernel is treated as a Linux kernel and the initrd is treated as the iPXE script that is run once the kernel has loaded.
#### Booting from Grub
