For subsequent deployments of nodes, use the relevant iPXE file as an example:

• for node02 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jesus-bustos/vhi-on-equinix-metal/refs/heads/main/ipxe-compute-1
• for node03 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jesus-bustos/vhi-on-equinix-metal/refs/heads/main/ipxe.compute-2
