I am trying to netboot a i5-1240P running AMI Bios with pixieboot but keep getting the error [DHCP] Unusable packet from xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx: unsupported client firmware type '16' (please file a bug!)

Now I have seen #72 but the i5-1240P surely isn't using arm64 but amd64/x86 or am I missing something? By searching for it I couldn't find any explicit information on the instruction set.

I just found out that code 16 only gets sent when enabling http netboot in the bios. When normaly sending it shows as the expected firmware but does not work regardless.

It was difficult to find out but as I inspected the traffic with Wireshark it directly labeled the Client System Architecture as x64 UEFI HTTP (16)

The reason it didn't boot had nothing to with this though, the reason was the missing "Real" DHCP server that is needed for this setup.
