[gPXE] Wireless boot attempt fail: command not found

[Marty Connor]

Thanks for the patch, Shao. :)

I have applied it:

 
http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/mdc/rom-o-matic.git;a=commitdiff;h=e7e56f1d4deee8da58335e95bb516181ea7a4e91

and it is now live on http://rom-o-matic.net/ in the top-of-tree git build.

I think one of the problems with the closed-source culture that is so 
common in the world is that people don't imagine that they can 
understand how things work.

When I programmed in a closed-source environment I constantly ran into 
walls where I could have easily figured things out if I could have seen 
source code.  Instead I had to ask about every little thing.  I can see 
how this could become a habit.  Suddenly you have the source code, but 
you're not used to that, so you don't even try to read it.

One of the main things that attracts me to FOSS is that I can learn as 
much as I care to, and for the most part there are people who are 
willing to help me find my way.

Sometimes it's important for those of us (like me) who have spent 
decades in FOSS to remember that many of those who are finding us today 
are new, and are from a world where there is no easy way to find 
information.  Most people are amazed how much they can do once they have 
direct access to the information they need.

Thanks again for your help, and for helping me remember what it was like 
30+ years ago when I was programming one of these:
