Patrick, I think I've been able to figure out some missing details
about your VMware Workstation tests. For a proxyDHCP, I'm using
dnsmasq. Could you try to confirm your test was the same basic setup?
On VMware Workstation 10 with a VMHWv10 VM set to EFI firmware for
x64, I've been able to get mixed results, depending on if a gateway is
provided. With a VMHWv9 VM, I see what appear to be the issues you
see.
VMHWv10, NAT: Boot Service Discover (a BOOTP style request) sent to
the wrong MAC address (MAC address of gateway)
VMHWv10, Host-Only, 6.03: success
VMHWv9, NAT: Same as VMHWv10
VMHWv9, Host-Only, 6.03: Syslinux appears deaf; no ARP response, no
TFTP acknowledgement after receiving the first packet of a file
request.
VMHWv9, Host-Only, Commit 81eeaa3: Same as 6.03.
