This works great! I'm now DHCP-invoking lpxelinux.0 and then using this
CONFIG approach to change the global prefix to "http://my.ip/".
This is more efficient than using pxechn.c32, if the only goal is to
reload the same NBP on the same server but simply with a different
global prefix.
Also glad to have learned about pxechn.c32 for when we need to switch to
a *different* NBP (e.g., a different version of syslinux).
