I'm replying to myself here, sorry about the last mail being HTML.

Found the necessary hints here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/gpxe@etherboot.org/msg01002.html

In short:

- Use undionly.kpxe instead of undionly.kkpxe.
- "set use-cached 1" isn't supported by undionly.kpxe, change to "set
use-cached 0" or remove.

After those changes HP BL460c G6 succesfully boots gpxelinux.0 and
fetches the config from the webserver.

Cheers,
Daniel
