hpa, etal,

pxelinux works great from a push of the reset button.
machine boots normally.

However, after i issue 'reboot' command, my box fails to find the tftp 
server during reboot.
This looks to be happening before pxelinux has any chance to participate,
so it cannot be to blame.

Im seeking corroboration here before I go badgering the bios-provider

here's the relevant pxelinux.cfg/default, and what the bios puts out to 
serial

SERIAL  0 19200
CONSOLE 0
DEFAULT menu.c32
