[SOLVED] PXE PB: autoexec.ipxe missing

Hello,
I have a new laptop to deploy: a Lenovo Thinkbook 16 G8 IRL.
When booting via PXE, it correctly finds the WAPT server's IP address and downloads the NBP, but then I get:
iPXE initializing devices...
autoexec.ipxe… Not found (https://ipxe.org/2b12618e).

After some research, it seems that in this case, I need to create an autoexec.ipxe file on the WAPT server, but how do I configure it and where do I place it?

Thank you in advance. :)

Hello,

autoexec.ipxe is an IPXE option that retrieves the boot URL from the IPXE file. The file isn't present here, but that's not an error message. The URL should be retrieved from the DHCP options.

No error message afterward?

No, it stays frozen afterwards.

I updated the PC's firmware and voila! It's all good, it works :)
