Details:
On a network where the DHCP server cannot be used to serve net boot file
information, dnsmasq has a proxy mode to provide the additional information.
The UEFI firmware correctly loads the grub2 image from the information on the
proxy DHCP but grub2 itself only sees the main DHCP server.
The below log shows that the proxy is on 192.168.36.117 and this is where the
grub2 image is loaded from, but grub2 thinks it should load from the main DHCP
server at 192.168.36.1
