-### Conclusion
-
Navigate to the “Machines” menu in the sidebar of Omni. You should now see a machine listed.
You now have a bare metal machine registered with Omni and ready to provision.
+
+## Alternative option: Use a hosting provider that supports iPXE with DHCP
+
+Some bare metal hosting providers (for example, managed dedicated server providers) already provide DHCP and an iPXE boot environment.
+
+In these environments, you do not need to run your own Matchbox server or bare metal infrastructure provider. Instead, you can chainload Talos directly from the Talos Image Factory.
+
+Use the following minimal iPXE script:
+
+```ipxe
+#!ipxe
+dhcp
+chain --replace --autofree https://pxe.factory.talos.dev/pxe///metal-amd64
+```
+
+Replace:
+
+- `` with the schematic ID generated in Image Factory
+- `` with the Talos version you want to boot (for example, `v1.12.0`)
+
+After the machine boots, it will register with Omni using the kernel parameters configured in Image Factory.
