That's normal.  iscsi booting requires using a different bootloader,
so I told the DHCP server to use the iscsi bootloader for the acer
machine's MAC address.  You can probably chainload the gpxe.pxe loader
to get the BKO menu using the chain command, maybe.

I'm still troubleshooting some problems with the network drivers not
loading correctly on the real hardware.  It works fine in QEMU,
though.  It might take a few days.
