Hello dnsmasq hackers,

Just a heads up.

In Dnsmasq 2.76:
Workaround problems with UEFI PXE clients. There exist
in the wild PXE clients which have problems with PXE
boot menus. To work around this, when there's a single
--pxe-service which applies to client, then that target
will be booted directly, rather then sending a
single-item boot menu.

In my tests, HP Gen9 UEFI (P89 v2.76 (10/21/2019) / iLO 2.74), of
course, requires pxe-service :(
Someone reported something similar here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=237655

For now my workaround is 2 pxe-service + pxe-prompt

Best
Etienne
