Notes

The build architecture does not necessarily represent the architecture of the machine on which iPXE is running. In particular, a version of iPXE built for i386 may be running on a 64-bit machine. You can use the cpuid command to determine the architecture of the current machine: 

  cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386
