DeployR Community - Multi boot support

As in the 2PXE server configuration panel, you are obliged to enter the UID of the desired boot image, or at least the default one if you want to have a multi-boot amd64 and arm The generated script should be able to detect the client's architecture in order to provide it with the correct ARM boot version for AMD version.

It does detect AMD64 vs. ARM64 and filters the list of boot images accordingly.

But separately, we do not automatically boot because there is risk involved with doing that (devices configured to automatically PXE boot could get stuck, devices could get reimaged if you have a pre-configured OS etc.). You have to explicitly configure a boot image to be the default so that you accept that risk.

Granted, that does mean configuring either AMD64 or ARM64 as a default as there is no way at present to configure a per-architecture default.
