I didn't find a proper configuaration that worked on my card without the
options. The pxe server that came with RedHat 8 also didn't seem to work
at all. It also has no man page, no --help, and just a crappy contradicting
document regarding it being able to run on the dhcp server. Add to that
that their tftp-server was broken, and their images/pxeboot/vmlinuz was
unusable, and their entire linux.[012] loading scheme fails, it is a
wonder I actually got a redhat 8 pxe install working at all. It 90% of
the information came from this mailing list archive.....
