i dug this content:
if exists dhcp-parameter-request-list {
# Always send the PXELINUX options (specified in
hexadecimal)
option dhcp-parameter-request-list = concat(option
dhcp-parameter-request-list,d0,d1,d2,d3);
}
perhaps try in hex? i don't know if that is required just in
dhcpd-scripting, or what. not many references for that option.
