I'll submit a PR for the manpage of pxeboot for this, because the
behaviour of the ISC-DHCP has changed with version 3.0.3 about this
(See http://www.mavetju.org/weblog/html/00110.html, I knew I had

I have moved the file /boot/pxeboot to my tftpboot directory, it
gets loaded but then QEMU complains about:

    ......TFTP download complete, but Unable to load file.

And restarts. Not sure what goes wrong...
