I believe the PXE stack normally unloads when exiting.  You can leave
the stack intact if you were able to _successfully_ boot from PXELINUX
to something else (chain, maybe.) with the option "keeppxe" (see
doc/pxelinux.txt) but this isn't giving up on the PXE boot then trying
a different BIOS boot.
