Ubuntu 16.04 Network Manager DHCP and PXE setup. Can't find `dnsmasq.conf`

I'm about to upgrade my (seperate computer) firewall (Going from IPCop to IPFire). I'd like to use PXE to boot the upgrade on the firewall.
I depend on the firewall system for DHCP, so when it's down for reinstallation, nobody will get an IP address.
I think I know the magic to add to dnsmasq.conf to cause it to serve DHCP, but, I don't see /etc/dnsmasq.conf. Using locate says:
$ locate dnsmasq.conf
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/dnsmasq.conf
/snap/core/5548/etc/dbus-1/system.d/dnsmasq.conf
/snap/core/5662/etc/dbus-1/system.d/dnsmasq.conf
/snap/core/5742/etc/dbus-1/system.d/dnsmasq.conf
/usr/share/doc/dnsmasq-base/examples/dnsmasq.conf.example
This is probably due to my use of Network Manager.
I plan to use dhcpd-hpa to serve the PXE stuff. Are there landmines?

@JackyChan After the cp /usr/share/doc/dnsmasq-base/examples/dnsmasq.conf.example /etc/dnsmasq.conf, I did
inotifywatch -t 180 -v --event access /etc/dnsmasq.conf /etc/dnsmasq.d/ /etc/dnsmasq.d-available/
while, in another window, did
sudo service NetworkManager restart
inotifywatch detected no accesses.
After further research, I put the file (all #comments and blank lines, for now) in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/dnsmasq.conf, and ran
inotifywatch -t 180 -v --event access /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/dnsmasq.conf
while, in another window, did I
sudo service NetworkManager restart
inotifywatch saw 7 accesses to /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/dnsmasq.conf
The directory /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d is where dnsmasq.conf is sought, for a NetworkManager controlled dnsmasq
