I think automating https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Boot_Methods_Pxeboot should be possible by extending support_server to provide a PXE server, just like how we do NFS tests and so on at present.

I'm working on this, it's working on x86_64 on staging. Will probably make it work for aarch64 and ppc64le before merging.
This is now done and merged to master. I scheduled the tests as merged on x86_64, ppc64le and aarch64 on staging and they all worked correctly.

Hello @adamwill, What is the purpose of the " :%ARCH_BASE_MACHINE%" in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/blob/2f51f3ef209cfb84ef50e8e37e2674c5369d1ae8/f/templates#_4408 ? This is not used in definition of other tests of support_server test. Does it need something specific on openQA server/worker ?
See the explanation at https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/blob/master/f/VARIABLES.md . Basically it's so the x86_64 UEFI test will run with an x86_64 BIOS support _server.
