WDS&PXE booting using Grub2 – choosing menuentry

grub2pxe-bootwds

I have problem with booting to WDS using PXE with Grub2. Actually we are using WDS with DHCP (Windows) – on DHCP I have WDS IP and 'grldr' file as bootfile name (grub loader) with menu.lst file (on target computer). I booting via pxe, grub searching menu.lst on hdd, loading menu.lst – I can choose WDS or HDD.

Today, I must enable WDS on EFI platform (grldr doesn't run on EFI platform). I installed another WDS, configured DHCP for one test platform and added grub2 file as "Bootfile Name" – and there is a problem. Machine booting to grub2 commandline..How can I add menuentry with WDS and HDD? I can boot WDS manually from command line but, where should I put grub.cfg?

On a PXE scenario grub2 will look for its configuration file depending on how its image was created. please look here for an example.
