This document describes a means by which to support network boot of a
bare-metal platform utilizing a pre-boot execution environment, such
as the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface [UEFI22]. The problem
being addressed is that the PXE [PXE21] and UEFI Specifications
[UEFI22] only describe how to ascertain boot configuration options
using DHCPv4 [RFC2131], not for DHCPv6 [RFC3315]. Similarly, iSCSI
boot [RFC4173] does not specify how to discover boot device
information in an DHCPv6 environment. This document will describe
how to ascertain this boot information in an IPv6 environment
utilizing options in the DHCPv6 hand-off [RFC3315].
