I tried booting Limine through iPXE like this:

module http://gaming-computer:64017/iso_root/boot/limine/limine.conf
chain http://gaming-computer:64017/iso_root/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI

the Limine screen appears, but it says [config file not found]. Is iPXE supported in this way?

I am trying to boot a OS that I'm making from the network. This is the folder structure I have:

/home/rajas/Documents/code-runner/target/debug/build/runner-6343fe691ceb05a1/out/
├── code_runner.iso
└── iso_root
    ├── EFI
    │   └── BOOT
    │       ├── BOOTIA32.EFI -> /home/rajas/Documents/code-runner/limine/share/limine/BOOTIA32.EFI
    │       └── BOOTX64.EFI -> /home/rajas/Documents/code-runner/limine/share/limine/BOOTX64.EFI
    └── boot
        ├── kernel -> /home/rajas/Documents/code-runner/target/x86_64-unknown-none/debug/deps/artifact/kernel-abb1ce58266af98d/bin/kernel-abb1ce58266af98d
        ├── limine
        │   ├── limine-bios-cd.bin -> /home/rajas/Documents/code-runner/limine/share/limine/limine-bios-cd.bin
        │   ├── limine-bios.sys -> /home/rajas/Documents/code-runner/limine/share/limine/limine-bios.sys
        │   ├── limine-uefi-cd.bin -> /home/rajas/Documents/code-runner/limine/share/limine/limine-uefi-cd.bin
        │   └── limine.conf -> /home/rajas/Documents/code-runner/runner/limine.conf
        └── ram_disk

I can boot code_runner.iso in a VM and on a real computer through Ventoy, but idk how to do it with iPXE.
