A 3rd option is missing, could it be that 4 was meant to be 3 ?
IPAPPEND flag_val [PXELINUX only]
The IPAPPEND option is available only on PXELINUX. The
flag_val is an OR of the following options:
1: indicates that an option of the following format
should be generated and added to the kernel command line:
ip=<client-ip>:<boot-server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>
... based on the input from the DHCP/BOOTP or PXE boot server.
NOTE: The use of this option is no substitute for running a
DHCP client in the booted system. Without regular renewals,
the lease acquired by the PXE BIOS will expire, making the
IP address available for reuse by the DHCP server.
2: indicates that an option of the following format
should be generated and added to the kernel command line:
BOOTIF=<hardware-address-of-boot-interface>
... in dash-separated hexadecimal with leading hardware type
(same as for the configuration file; see pxelinux.txt.)
This allows an initrd program to determine from which
interface the system booted.
4: indicates that an option of the following format
should be generated and added to the kernel command line:
SYSUUID=<system uuid>
... in lower case hexadecimal in the format normally used for
UUIDs (same as for the configuration file; see pxelinux.txt.)
