Hello,

UEFI RFC is now ready for last round of comments. Please speak up, if
you have objections on the design:

GregSutcliffe/rfcs/blob/21d269bafd70315876c4589f1c0564187a77c069/text/0000-PXE-Booting-UEFI.md

- Feature Name: UEFI support for PXE booting
- Start Date: 2016-05-04
- RFC PR: (leave this empty)
- Issue: [Redmine #431](http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/431)

# Summary
[summary]: #summary

The goal of this feature is to implement PXE booting of UEFI systems. In the default configuration on at least RHEL6, RHEL7 and Debian stable platforms, both BIOS and EFI systems should be able to PXE boot including Discovery Image. Foreman bootdisk EFI support is out of scope of this task.

# Motivation
[motivation]: #motivation

Currently, Foreman supports booting of x86 BIOS systems via PXELinux and several other platforms via Grub1, ZTP and POAP. These are represented as PXE "variants": syslinux, pxegrub, ztp and poap which are hardcoded in operating system model classes. However, EFI is not currently supported, and should be.
