Which VMware product(s)/version(s) (ESXi, perhaps?) with what version
of mboot.c32?

Have you considered using gpxelinux.0 (at gpxe/gpxelinux.0) and any
needed modules (like com32/modules/mboot.c32) from the current
Syslinux package?  gpxelinux.0 in Syslinux 4.02 is at gPXE 1.0.0.

Why version 2.12?  Is that the exact minimum version your mboot.c32 wants?
