# Served at http://<this-mac>:8080/boot.ipxe and run by iPXE on the target.
# There is deliberately NO menu here: this file exists for machines whose
# firmware never wakes the USB keyboard, so anything needing a keypress is a
# dead end. Once the kernel below is running, Linux drives the keyboard with
# its own USB stack and the installer is usable again.
#
# For the common distros you do not need this file at all - use the built-in
# catalog instead:   sudo python3 pxeserv.py --install list
