The patch looks fine. If it is useful, the last two code patches are printing
fixes and the rest is the fix for the PXE -> Etherboot -> DOS chaining
problem.

There is a design issue here unrelated to the PXE to Etherboot API map -- if
the UNDI driver is to be used it shouldn't be unloaded, but we don't know
whether it is going to be needed until the loading is attempted. So, the PXE
unloading will need to be postponed in the code and possibly Etherboot
relocation changed a bit.
But I am sure you will figure it out.
Thanks for fixing the bug.
