Please see also the email attached which seems not to have hit the list
about grub not obeying an initial path send with dhcp.
Thanks and sorry if I misunderstood something here,

Hi All,
when doing network installation with the files from
debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
grub didn't find it's files if using a nonstandard tftp server layout:
RRQ from 129.206.106.247 filename /debian/amd64_stretch/debian-installer/amd64/bootnetx64.efi
tftp: client does not accept options
RRQ from 129.206.106.247 filename /debian/amd64_stretch/debian-installer/amd64/bootnetx64.efi
RRQ from 129.206.106.247 filename debian-installer/amd64/grub/x86_64-efi/command.lst
RRQ from 129.206.106.247 filename debian-installer/amd64/grub/x86_64-efi/fs.lst
RRQ from 129.206.106.247 filename debian-installer/amd64/grub/x86_64-efi/crypto.lst
RRQ from 129.206.106.247 filename debian-installer/amd64/grub/x86_64-efi/terminal.lst
RRQ from 129.206.106.247 filename debian-installer/amd64/grub/grub.cfg
PXE BIOS with pxelinux has no problems with finding it's files in such a layout.
Is there any functionality in grub to enable relative pathes at that point of the debian
installation ? If not, is that a bug/regression to report against grub ?
Thanks for any insights and sorry if I overlooked something,
greetings
Hermann
