      Hello,

      First time posting here and usually I can google my answers but this time im stumped. Just set up an MDT server on my LAB and tried to add the boot options and I was able to add all the info to dhcp server on my pfsense + install (23.09.1) , but the additional boot options area seems to be missing entirely my friend who also has 23.09 has the options but i do not. is there a box that needs to be ticked somewhere or did my install just do something weird that i did not catch till now. Any Help would be appreciated.

        Hi,

        depend what DHCP you are using - ISC DHCP or KEA DHCP?

          @fireodo Hello,

          Sorry about leaving that info out I'm running Kea since netgate said ISC is Deprecated. I've tried both backends seeing if that was an issue and still had the same result.

            Normally under ISC DHCP it should work.
            Concerning KEA please read here (scroll down to KEA):
