Ran into this exact same issue ourselves. In all the Yealink documentation for the new provisioning process, there is no mention of a special keyword or variable that can be used inside the boot file. I expect one does exist (i.e. $MAC or something like that), but since it's not documented anywhere seems impossible to guess at what the value might be.

In our case we solved the issue by not using .boot files at all. If you do not have either y000000000000.boot or MAC-ADDRESS.boot then the phone does what it used to do, and requests the y000000000xx.cfg followed by it's own mac.cfg.

I understand why they implemented the .boot system, but it seems very odd that Yealink does not provide a standard sample y000000000000.boot file which implements the old style by default (that way we can learn about the new .boot and play with it without having it absolutely break everything).
