Hi Patrik, The M- without much doubt stands for Meta (emacspeak for "Esc" I believe). If that is correct, the entire string would read "meta-caret",and according to
www.firwood.net/Publications/ASCII-Chart.pdf the sequence stands for Ascii 0xDE (dec. 222), a value in the 8-bit range. That should hold a clue. I'm not sure why PXE would sent that sequence, if it does at all. Maybe check your serial port setup to begin with. What dhcpd sees is probably not what PXE means..
