## Configure BootFromDiskMethod

By default, Sidero will use iPXE's `exit` command to attempt to force boot from disk.
On Raspberry Pi, this will drop you into the bootloader interface, and you will need to connect a keyboard and manually select the disk to boot from.

The BootFromDiskMethod can be configured on individual [Servers](../../resource-configuration/servers/#bootfromdiskmethod), on [ServerClasses](../../resource-configuration/serverclasses/#bootfromdiskmethod), or as a command-line argument to the Sidero metal controller itself (`--boot-from-disk-method=<value>`).
In order to force the Pi to use the configured bootloader order, the BootFromDiskMethod needs to be set to `ipxe-sanboot`.

With the patched metal controller, you should now be able to register the Pi4 to
