AFAIK archiso images boot fine over pxe. (archboot is not official) archboot doesn't even use aif, but archiso does, and it accepts a 'script' boot parameter, which can do whatever you want, such as starting an aif automatic install. at least, that's how I remember things are. I didn't ever try this myself but IIRC other people have.

Thanks for the fast reply Dieter. I was trying to avoid passing an entire iso over TFTP - my internal virtual network takes long enough just to pass the 80Mb initrd from archboot. I'll test it anyway (the netinst iso is only double that, not too bad), just so I've got a handle on how it works - thanks for the tip.
maybe there's a better way (like transmit something minimal, mount / over nfs or whatever), but i'm not familiar enough with archiso.
Are there plans to integrate archboot and the main iso images (or aif) in some way?
nope
