[block] Allow use of a non-default EFI SAN boot filename
Some older operating systems (e.g. RHEL6) use a non-default filename
on the root disk and rely on setting an EFI variable to point to the
bootloader. This does not work when performing a SAN boot on a
machine where the EFI variable is not present.
Fix by allowing a non-default filename to be specified via the
"sanboot --filename" option or the "san-filename" setting. For
example:
sanboot --filename \efi\redhat\grub.efi \
iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6
or
option ipxe.san-filename code 188 = string;
option ipxe.san-filename "\\efi\\redhat\\grub.efi";
option root-path "iscsi:192.168.0.1::::iqn.2010-04.org.ipxe.demo:rhel6";
