[gPXE] gPXE 1.0.0-rc1 - Input/output error

[Kyle Kienapfel]

The problem is probably all in the user agent that gets sent out.
mage at prometheus:~$ echo -en 'GET /menu.gpxe HTTP/1.0\r\nUser-Agent:
gPXE/0.9.7+ (netboot.me/0.1.1)\r\nHost: www.netboot.me\r\n\r\n' | nc
www.netboot.me 80
vs just: User-Agent: gPXE/0.9.7+

net dhcp0
<something to set base path to http://www.netboot.me/, i need help on
what goes here>
chain http://www.netboot.me/menu.c32 premenu.cfg
