Yes, this is correct. VMWare incorrectly implements the UDP receive PXE
function as a blocking operation; the spec states it's nonblocking.
This is a VMWare bug, and it can't really be worked around by PXELINUX.
Complain to VMWare; you've paid money for their product, but you
probably haven't paid for mine.
