Raspberry Pi network boot DHCP retry timeout configuration
The Raspberry Pi 4 and 5 support PXE network boot via EEPROM settings, yet the bootloader’s DHCP client uses hardcoded retry intervals that cannot be tuned through documented configuration files. When a DHCP server is slow or a network has high latency, the default five‑retry, two‑second‑interval scheme can cause boot failures or excessive delays. No config.
