dnsmasq template does not support BIOS / legacy boot #1336

Open anderbubble opened 3 months ago

anderbubble commented 3 months ago

Steps to reproduce

It looks like the dnsmasq template provided by warewulf also does not offer to serve up a legacy BIOS ipxe binary to legacy hosts

Your template will probably need something like this:

{{- with (index $.Tftp.IpxeBinaries "00:00" ) }}
dhcp-boot=tag:!iPXE,tag:bios,"/warewulf/{{ index $.Tftp.IpxeBinaries "00:00" }}"
{{- end }}

to support legacy BIOS clients

the bios tag is being set with this existing directive:

dhcp-match=set:bios,option:client-arch,0   #legacy boot

and the dhcp-boot statement I provided above for the template is just matching on that tag to serve up the appropriate ipxe binary

It's been a while since I had anything booting legacy BIOS, but the example here worked when I did: https://gist.github.com/griznog/219b42e59700469d8df37baf82d6849b
