The 'SAY' option doesn't work in PXE configuration with UEFI system

Solution Unverified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are using pxeboot configuration with UEFI systems.
  • When attempting to boot, We are not able to use the 'SAY' syslinux option.
  • When using legacy BIOS this option is parsed without issue.
  • We are able to PXE successfully, and has configured his system to boot with the following:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Installation_Guide/s1-netboot-pxe-config-efi.html
  • When placing the SAY option in the efidefault file or the mac specific address file, the command looks ignored. The title and other options show up normally.
  • This is our configuration. That looks correct.

    root (nd)
    SAY Hello world....
