+### 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
