Description

On our internal MS DHCP servers PXEClient is set to PXEClient (probably pretty common). This makes from what I understand make the pxe boot rom try to contact the dhcp server on port 4011 to obtain the boot file. This fails and the machine will not pxe boot.

I have created a pull request which tries to mitigate this issue by setting option 60 to empty string for the reservation.
