I don't use this tftpboot folder. So cannot use the hack either.

Would you have to include something like this in reboot.c?

        {       /* Handle problems with rebooting on Dell Optiplex 760's*/
                .callback = set_bios_reboot,
                .ident = "Dell OptiPlex 760",
                .matches = {
                        DMI_MATCH(DMI_SYS_VENDOR, "Dell Inc."),
                        DMI_MATCH(DMI_PRODUCT_NAME, "OptiPlex 760"),

         },
       },

who maintains reboot.c?
