For me works as a charm I suggest set the SSH key on it:

#!ipxe

set base-url http://alpha.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current
kernel ${base-url}/coreos_production_pxe.vmlinuz coreos.autologin=tty1 sshkey="ssh-rsa AAAA....."
initrd ${base-url}/coreos_production_pxe_image.cpio.gz
boot

Thanks for the gist. That helped me a lot to get started.

Do you know how to use a CA cert to download the cloud-config from a TLS secured server? Is this supported on OVH iPXE boot?

Won't work for me on a SyS Server. Created an ipxeScript and got a bootid. However, if I try to activate the bootid for the Server the API just returns "null" and does not change the boot. (I can also choose the iPXE scripts within manager but same behavior here - just won't set it.)
I have no clue what’s going wrong and it seems that SyS Support unfortunately does not work on the ticket which I opened days ago. Can somebody here help?

Everything works well except the iPXE server seems to be under severe bandwidth limitation.
It takes three minutes to download a 270 MBs live kernel image and that's from OVH's own network.

Have you discovered the reason for this?

Having some trouble with this on SYS... created a couple of scripts in step 1 and confirmed they existed via GET request, but step 2 returns an empty array.
