Wayne,

Another fun test (using Jeffrey Hutzelman's and H. Peter Anvin's
pxechain.com) is:

gPXE -> PXELINUX -> pxechain.com -> mba.pxe (a Ghost menu .pxe file) ->
ghost.sys

The PXELINUX config-file looks like:

LABEL ghost
  COMBOOT pxechain.com
  APPEND ::mba.pxe

Unfortunately, this yields precisely the same results as gPXE ->
mba.pxe.  Mind you, NIC-native PXE -> PXELINUX -> pxechain.com ->
mba.pxe doesn't work either.

Yet another test is the simpler:

LABEL ghost
  PXE mba.pxe

which works with NIC-native PXE, but yields the same error with gPXE.

Time to enable debugging and see what PXE calls are being made by the
.sys file, along with their parameters.
