Please make sure you get 3.70-pre8.  3.70-pre7 has a data corruption bug 
with dynamic content (inherited from the gPXE code base.)

It's possible, although I can't say for sure.  It's definitely 
*related*, but it "should" work anyway.  Famous last words and all that. 
   Cleaning up the chainloading issue should definitely fix this issue too.
