action #133160

Updated by okurz over 1 year ago

## Motivation 
 Modern machines use UEFI and support httpboot. Some machines don't even support old legacy boot, in particular when there are NVMe devices. Eng-Infra is already using a new way in particular in PRG2 so we should use something like that for our own setup as well, e.g. follow https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP5/html/SLES-all/cha-deployment-prep-uefi-httpboot.html 

 ## Acceptance criteria 
 * **AC1:** physical PRG2 o3 workers can start an autoyast based installation 

 ## Suggestions 
 * The referenced SLE doc use dnsmasq as example so that should be simple enough for us to follow. 
 * Read in #132143-30 what mcaj did but with dhcpd so we have it easier with dnsmasq anyway 
 * Use qemu to test the setup first. Validate with physical machines later 
 * Look into o3:/etc/dnsmasq.d/openqa.conf for likely all relevant settings
