It was something of a technical correction... Even though the iBFT is
populated regardless of the keep-san setting, if you do not use
keep-san, then gPXE can completely unload when you do 'exit'. If gPXE is
completely unloaded, I don't believe the iBFT is guaranteed to stay
intact. So the only way to guarantee the iBFT is to use 'keep-san', as
far as I know, in the context of your situation.

Can you see the local hard disk drive when you do not boot gPXE at all?

Good luck,
