``[bootfile]`` section

......................
|

|

This section contains one entry for each supported architecture.
|
||||
It defines the name of the initial boot file the client should request,
|
||||
indexed on the architecture it reports, if any.
|
||||
|
||||
It should contain at least one entry, ``default``, which map to the bootfile
|
||||
for clients that do no expose their architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
The bootfile is usually requested over TFTP to boot up after the client has
|
||||
been assigned a network address.
|
||||
|

Each entry is the architecture string, with a filename value.

``[buggy_clients]`` section
|

...........................
|
||||
|
||||
When a BOOTP client requests a network address, the BOOTP/DHCP server should
|
||||
broadcast on the client's LAN the DHCP offerring. Using the client's network is
|
||||
recommended, as it avoid broadcasting BOOTP/DHCP packets to other networks.
|
||||
|
||||
Some clients, notably the clients based on Intel firmwares, are stupid enough
|
||||
to ignore DHCP offering which is broadcasted to the network broadcast address.
|
||||
They do require the DHCP server to broadcast to the global ``255.255.255.255``
|
||||
address.
|
||||
|
||||
This section lists the MAC of the clients that are so stupid they need this
|
||||
global broadcast address to work. If you use Intel BIOS/UEFI, this option is
|
||||
likely needed.
|
||||
|
||||
Each entry is a MAC address, using the ``-`` byte separator, with a boolean
|
||||
value.
