I'd like to display the computer serial and mac address. This is because when we recieve new machines, typically 40 at a time, I use ipxe to boot and then enter these details into a new machine database.
I must enter the ipxe shell to type show net0/mac and show serial. To be easier it would be useful to be displayed on the ipxe menu itself, or have a submenu to show this info.
Preferably if it could be displayed underneath the menu title directly, psedo code below, as I do not know the correct way to display undefined variables.
menu iPXE Boot Menu
text serial: $(serial)
text MAC: $(net0/mac)
