Device can't connect to server #42

I've been following the setup guide to install CM4 Provisioning on a Pi4 in order to flash CM4 on a custom board.

CM4 is connected via Ethernet to a (non managed) switch connected to the Pi4, as per the instructions, but the provisioning server never detects the CM4.

A project is created and an image is uploaded and ready.

In the dnsmasq log I see this:

Feb 19 10:40:20 mortrix-provisioning systemd[1]: Starting cmprovision-dnsmasq.service - cmprovision-dnsmasq...

...

With a new entry of DHCP packet received on eth0 which has no address every time the CM4 retries PXE boot.

cat /etc/dhcpcd.conf
gives me:

interface eth0
static ip_address=172.20.0.1/16

(Instructions says "add ... to the bottom of the file", but the file was empty to begin with?)

cat /var/lib/cmprovision/etc/dnsmasq.conf
results in:

# No DNS
port=0

# tftp
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/var/lib/cmprovision/scriptexecute

# dhcp
dhcp-match=set:client_is_a_pi,97,0:52:50:69:34
dhcp-match=set:client_is_a_pi,97,0:34:69:50:52

log-dhcp
dhcp-range=172.20.0.2,172.20.255.255,255.255.0.0
pxe-service=tag:client_is_a_pi,0,"Raspberry Pi Boot"
dhcp-leasefile=/var/lib/cmprovision/etc/dnsmasq.leases
no-ping

And the CM4 keep trying to boot like this:
IMG_4264

Any clues as to how to fix this? Did I miss something obvious?

At the end of the guide it is mentioned that the CM4 bootloader FW might be out of date. How to check this?
