I don´t recall exactly, probably because it's an early boot issue.

Title:
  Please put ipxe.krn to the desktop CD

Status in ipxe package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Please put ipxe.lkrn as a boot option in the isolinux menu of the live
  CDs, so that they can be used to netboot computers, either for
  network-based installation, or as LTSP clients, etc.

  The embedded iPXE script would do this:
  1) autoboot (that's an iPXE command)
  2) on failure, if no boot server exists on the local network, use http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/ to download the kernel via http and to start a network installation without downloading or burning mini.iso.

  It will only add a few Kb on the .iso, and it will make possible e.g.
  to reuse the 12.04 CDs to netboot and install 14.04.

  I can write the iPXE boot script if there's interest in it.
