[syslinux] pxelinux efi64 boot woes on hyper-v gen 2

P.S. It's not this and I'm getting a PXE-E99 tftp failure "Unexepected Network Error", so I'll guess I'll need to investigate what kind of TFTP server makes hyper-v happy. Virtualbox, VmWare seem to have the same EFI boot code & output the same error message.

Probably not a problem for the syslinux mailing list.

I'm trying to boot pxelinux from a hyper-v generation 2 (efi 64), but I keep getting NBP Filename bootx64.efi NBP Filesize 0 bytes and of course it doesn't boot from the startup screen

The thing is the tftpserver works fine with pxelinux.0 and bios mode, and I can use a unix tftp client to download bootx64.efi without any issues.

I have my DHCP server set up just like steven from CloneZilla.org does.

Any suggestions for this one?
