Hi Martin,

thanks for your reply.

Which is exactly what I do not want.
It consumes a few seconds on every boot, which is totally unnecessary, 
because I very rarely want to boot over network. That's why I'd rather 
have iPXE as a payload than as an option rom. I think this *should* be 
possible, because you can apparently run iPXE from GRUB, too. But it 
would be nicer to have it in flash than on disk.
