Uncheck the autoupgrade on XPEnology right away, DO NOT upgrade to 5565!!!

Once the PC was boot from USB or CD, you need the SynologyAssistant from another PC to scan the same LAN to discovery the XPEnology server for reset of the installation.
You need the .pat file on the PC. Remember to shutdown any Antivirus or Firewall app like the FortiClient etc..

FOG 1.2.0 PXE menu options: Auto registration for unregistered hosts with Quick registration and inventory

Don't have time to manually input HOST PC mac address on Fog portal.

Try the "Quick registration" option on PXE menu.

STEP1: Edit it by using nano /var/www/fog/lib/fog/BootMenu.class.php
STEP2: Find a code looking like this:
$this->defaultChoice = "choose --default fog.local --timeout $timeout target && goto \${target}\n";

Just change 'fog.local' to 'fog.reginput' (full registration) or 'fog.reg' (quick registration)... 
Save the file and boot your clients.

$this->defaultChoice = "choose --default fog.reg--timeout $timeout target && goto \${target}\n";
