📄 Description

This adds floppy generation for the DHCP and DHCP-snp EFI boot images.

Some of the systems I have access to support uploading a floppy image to the IPMI interface to boot the server from. The IPMI interface supports booting ISO's, but only via a Samba share, therefore requiring external resources.

As the server itself is EFI-enabled this allows you to boot netboot.xyz in EFI mode without having to make network changes (PXE boot or Samba share) or require physical presence (USB thumbdrive, CD image).
