+    ``enable_ironic_pxe_uefi`` is deprecated and will be removed in Zed.
+    This variable is not documented and results in a broken PXE setup
+    for Ironic Inspector.
+    The recommended way to support EFI/UEFI deployments in Ironic
+    Inspector is to stay with the recommended default of iPXE in Ironic
+    Inspector (see docs on ``ironic_dnsmasq_serve_ipxe``).
