pixiecore quick xyz is legacy BIOS only by default?

I don't promise to maintain pixiecore, but as it happens I hit the same boot failure with xyz and would love to fix it :P

Sounds like the recipe needs to be updated to send different images based on the client's requested architecture.

I think having a command-line option/flag here would be okay. AFAIK thee original author doesn't maintain this project anymore, but I've used it in the past to great success. Perhaps one of us can fork it if we have active use for it (I don't at the moment :/)

So the quick cmd already has cmdline options to let you specify a custom iPXE binary for BIOS, 32-bit UEFI and 64-bit UEFI

And the remote clients specify in their request what they would like:

netboot/pixiecore/pxe.go

Lines 100 to 105 in 66e5fba

	case 6:
	fwtype = FirmwareEFI32
	case 7:
	fwtype = FirmwareEFI64
	case 9:
	fwtype = FirmwareEFIBC

So I was assuming that we can detect and send the correct one automatically without manual config

Would a PR to fix this get accepted?
Seems like the issue is still present
