I'm not sure I understand the problem, lets take for example CentOS 5.3
if your OS name is CentOS, major is 5 and minor is 3, and your host arch is 32bit, Foreman will create a link to:CentOS-5.3-i386.

You can see at /app/models/host.rb line 243:

GW::Tftp.create([mac, os.to_s.gsub(" ","-"), arch.name, serial])

that link is created as mac-->os_name.arch_name .
In my test OS did not include what I entered in the major & minor version fields when I've created the os object.

Another thing is that after adding an OS with major and minor numbers you can not edit them (major,minor) again

have a look inside the os.to_s:

"#{name} #{major}#{('.' + minor) unless minor.empty?}" 

that would not add the minor if it doesn't exists..

yeah, that's correct, I guess that I've missed that. can you create another ticket for that?

In "settings-->operating systems-->create new" I had the following fields filled:

Name: RedHat Enterprise Linux
Architectures: i386
major: 5
minor: 3

I added output to log of major and minor before:
"#{name} #{major}#{('.' + minor) unless minor.empty?}"

And I get
major=RedHat
minor is empty

pxe links are created with major and minor numbers !
