Description

When new bare-metal host is created and all PXE template kinds are associated and set for selected OS, Foreman sets PXE loader in this order:

  • PXEGrub2 UEFI
  • PXELinux BIOS
  • PXEGrub UEFI

We should still prefer BIOS as the primary options because this can end up with hosts not booting for users with BIOS-PXE workflow which is still the most used one.
