The projects are diverged.  Please use iPXE for all future purposes.

To fix the specific problem you have (which Shao identified), we could 
potentially incorporate the "fragment" (and "query") portions of the URI 
within the request sent to the TFTP server, i.e. reconstruct the original TFTP 
filename before it was treated as a URI and parsed into its components.  An 
alternative would be to pass the literal filename directly to the TFTP code, 
bypassing the URI stage.  The latter seems cleaner at first glance, but only 
the former would be able to directly cope with something like:

  #!ipxe
  chain tftp://server/#MPCPathBoot#/boothd

without requiring the use of URI escapes, e.g.

  #!ipxe
  chain tftp://server/%23MPCPathBoot%23/boothd

Thoughts, anyone?
