OK, it seems that my explanations were a little bit confusing. I apologize. Let
us try to make it shorter...
When booting a AS (IBM or HP) through build-in PXE loader, we receive several
information from boot server through the dhcpd.conf.
Ex.:
host mohon {
hardware ethernet 00:80:9F:D8:8C:20; # ETH0
filename "/bootp/linux/106.000-pre/pxe/pxeloader_mohon";
fixed-address 172.25.27.80;
option vendor-encapsulated-options "S/tel/L2960.fr";
}
Our installer, then, use this information and fills up a local structure.
Here is the canevas of our installer that manage this (note the different
supported option) :
<...>
switch (opt) {
case 0x00: /* Padding tag. */
<...>
break;
case 0x01: /* Netmask tag. */
<...>
break;
case 0x03: /* Gateway tag. */
<...>
break;
case 0x2b: /* Specific tag. */
<...>
break;
case 0x63: /* Magic tag. */
<...>
break;
case 0xff: /* Last-tag tag. */
<...>
break;
default:
<...>
}
<...>
This works well, even for the option 43 (0x2b) defined in the dhcpd.conf file
like above.
Now, booting a Mohon Peak with iPXE and the same dhcpd.conf file shows that all
option, except 43, are passed to our installer.
Is there a special handling in iPXE and/or in the dhcpd.conf file to get this
string passed along with the 'vendor-encapsulated-options' ?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Patrick Agrain

I couldn't tell from your e-mail what problem you are hitting. What are you
expecting to happen, and what actually happens instead?
Thanks,
Michael
