[syslinux] PXE Linux and EFI....or Intel MACs

[Jacob Alifrangis]

That doesn't seem to be the case with the intel Macs,

I believe that the Intel MACs boot code needs to receive a BSDP Packet
(Boot Service Discovery Protocol). I think that With some trying I can
get this to work, I'll keep you updated (It's going to involve some
crafy .net programming though)

Not I. I haven't had a chance to invest to much time into it though.

One thing I found, with ppc, and early? (haven't tested anything 
recently) intel machines did not respect the next-server directive. 
Netbooting wouldn't work at all unless the dhcp server and tftp server 
were running on the same host.

I am still quite interested in getting this working, but I am not a 
programmer.
