Uefi ipxe.efi Dnsmasq

[GermanICTEmployee]

Many thanks for your try. I tested that two weeks ago, forget this code it is too old.

Heureka, I broke the looop. :-) Yeeeeehaaa
Please add this to uefi and break the loop part on the documentation page.

First never use UEFI and DNSmasq in proxy mode combined. The DNSmasq does not answer! I double checked that with the dhcp-logs.
I waited for the PXEClient String to transfer ipxe.efi from tftproot. After that I let DNSmasq match iPXE strings with option 175.
Besides you see I also integrated pxelinux for "bios / legacy" and several other uefi architectures.

You have to place on root at tftp the "bootstrap.ipxe / boot.ipxe".
Only one line is needed in the script for ipxe.efi in boot.ipxe:
tftproot/boot.ipxe

Code:

chain http://192.168.1.2/boot.ipxe

The /etc/dnsmasq.conf

Code:
