Hello, I currently switch my WDS install to use the syslinux/pxelinux.0 image.? Everything works great but before when we used the WDS pxe image it would prompt you to hit F12 before confirming, otherwise it would continue to boot normally.? Since switching we no longer get this and since all of our machines have pxe boot enabled by default in the bios, all of our users are booting into pxe.? Is there a way to force a f12 key or a confirmation key before booting into pxelinux.0 or to exit cleanly if a hot key is not pressed? Thanks

If you don't rename it, you have to explicitly declare it "pxe pxeboot.n12" instead of using the "kernel" keyword. -hpa
