Acronis True Image

With regular iPXE, booting Acronis True Image is fairly straightforward. For example:

sanboot http://1.2.3.4/ti2017.iso

Booting Acronis True Image 2017 with ipxe.efi is also possible. I was not able to boot with an earlier version (2014) as the kernel did not have efi stub support.

Copy these files from the licensed Acronis media to your iPXE server:

1. /Recovery Manager/kernel64.dat
   
2. /Recovery Manager/ramdisk_merged64.dat
   
3. /dat4.dat
   

Use the following to boot:

kernel http://1.2.3.4/kernel64.dat initrd=ramdisk_merged64.dat initrd=dat4.dat edd=off MBRCRCS force_modules=usbhid quiet
initrd http://1.2.3.4/ramdisk_merged64.dat
initrd http://1.2.3.4/dat4.dat
boot

Note: I copied the kernel command line options from /proc/cmdline. The 'quiet' kernel command line option also automatically launches the application. 'edd=off', 'MBRCRCS' and 'force_modules=usbhid' are not required to launch the application but I have not tested the application without these options.
