Message after installing

Should you require overwriting some settings, this port offers you the
_IPXE_BUILDCFG variable that can be set for you to manage extra build
configurations - e.g.: add a custom (self-signed) CA certificate to it.

In the default configuration, iPXE will automatically trust the same
set of certificates as the Firefox web browser. More information about
iPXE's cryptography support: https://ipxe.org/crypto
