Missed it.  Would you have any idea if this BIOS is EFI-based at all?

One thing you could do that would be really helpful in tracking this
down would be to give me a memory dump of the first megabyte of memory
*after a PXE boot*.  The program memdump.com included in Syslinux is
designed to dump memory out a serial port; you would need a null-modem
cable to another computer, and to run a terminal program capable of
YMODEM on that computer.
