I'd still be interested in your Etherboot results after a static ARP 
entry on the server.  It's great that you've found that gPXE can meet 
your needs, after all.  Perhaps it wouldn't be worth the time to 
investigate the Etherboot incompatibility any further; obviously up to you.

The "fix-up" might be happening, but you could be suffering from some 
other problem, such as discussed above.

I appreciate all of the detail you've provided; it's great reference 
material for future inquiries of the same nature!
