A 3rd option is missing, could it be that 4 was meant to be 3 ? IPAPPEND flag_val [PXELINUX only] The IPAPPEND option is available only on PXELINUX. The flag_val is an OR of the following options: 1: indicates that an option of the following format should be generated and added to the kernel command line: ip=<client-ip>:<boot-server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask> ... based on the input from the DHCP/BOOTP or PXE boot server. NOTE: The use of this option is no substitute for running a DHCP client in the booted system. Without regular renewals, the lease acquired by the PXE BIOS will expire, making the IP address available for reuse by the DHCP server. 2: indicates that an option of the following format should be generated and added to the kernel command line: BOOTIF=<hardware-address-of-boot-interface> ... in dash-separated hexadecimal with leading hardware type (same as for the configuration file; see pxelinux.txt.) This allows an initrd program to determine from which interface the system booted. 4: indicates that an option of the following format should be generated and added to the kernel command line: SYSUUID=<system uuid> ... in lower case hexadecimal in the format normally used for UUIDs (same as for the configuration file; see pxelinux.txt.)
