[ipxe-devel] - uuid mangle does not show correctly for my hp elitebook 8440p

[Torgeir.Wulfsberg at kongsberg.com]

Hi!

It is the _format_ of the
UUID, not the literal UUID.

The one I wrote down was just to show how the format was on that specific machine (they are probably not that secret, but we have some "confidentiality" to take into consideration. That's why I did not want to write down the actual UUID),
