Description

I installed foreman 1.13.1 and completed the setup. Since we have machines to be booted with UEFI, I was looking forward to use the announced UEFI features. However, when adding a new host, there is no selectable entry for "PXEGrub2 UEFI" as advertised in the manual. In fact, there is also no provisioning template with a hint for UEFI (and I don't know whether there should be one).

However, since I only use the TFTP smart proxy, I configured our DHCP server to provide grub2/grubx64.efi and the server also seems to load it. Anyways, this does not succeed since it results in showing a completely black screen and eventually the machine reboots. Therefore, I think I am missing some features or I did configure the build wrongly.
