The software that you are using is therefore "pxegrub".

Solaris ships with a very heavily modified version of pxegrub that is known to 
break on versions of gPXE prior to Jan 27 2009.  You will need to be using 
the current gPXE tree (or the 0.9.7 release, which is recent enough).

Please run

  git describe --tags

in your gPXE tree, and report the output here.

Thanks,

Michael
