Re: BIOS legacy boot with BOSS controller card

[EXTERNAL EMAIL] 

Hi Kashif, 

we are deploying Debian via PXE and preseed in an automated fashion at
work.
I think we recently extended this to also work fully-automated with the
BOSS controller as well. 

The BIOS is configured to boot via UEFI afterwards. 

Let me know what details you would need.
