Which iPXE binaries do you use? Those provided by FOG or different ones (maybe older versions)?
I am still not exactly sure about the ethernet cards as it is almost impossible to find the PCI IDs of things assembled into Macs on the internet… So I just hope that there are “normal” BCM57765 chips in both of your Macs.
Anyhow. Lets give it a try. Please add this line to your subnet section:
subnet ... {
authoritative;
....
}
and add this class definition anywhere in your DHCP config:
class "Apple-Intel-Netboot" {
# Limit this class to only Intel Apple machines
match if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 14) = "AAPLBSDPC/i386";
option dhcp-parameter-request-list 1,3,17,43,60;
if (option dhcp-message-type = 1) {
option vendor-class-identifier "AAPLBSDPC/i386";
option vendor-encapsulated-options 08:04:81:00:00:67;
}
filename "ipxe.efi";
next-server x.x.x.x;
}
Restart the DHCP service, power up your Mac - pressing ‘n’ on the keyboard till you see a globe spinning.
This is the most simple configuration I could find to talk BSDP. It works with MacBook1,1 and MacBook6,1 which I happend to have here for testing. It might not work for newer Macs. I’ll be updating the before mentioned wiki page to explain different settings.
I think you can remove ‘filename’ and ‘option bootfile-name’ from your host section. It is set via the new class definition.
No offence!
