Bug#930087: syslinux-efi: syslinux.efi ignores pxelinux.configfile during PXE boot
Package: syslinux-efi
Version: 3:6.04~git20190206.bf6db5b4+dfsg1-1~bpo9+2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
we are forced to switch some of our netbooting machines to UEFI
ie. from pxelinux.0 to syslinux.efi.
Apparently syslinux.efi does not take the DHCP option pxelinux.configfile
(Option 209 as documented in https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX)
into account but always follows the standard schema:

> Jun 6 18:11:24 tftp.server tftpd: Serving pxelinux.cfg/default to 10.11.12.23:2033
This is not mentioned in the "UEFI" - "Notes" section of the wiki page mentioned above
so I wonder if this is a known problem.
Kind regards
Christopher
