The DHCP request only appears in the syslog after step 3 when I do the
following:
1. Boot the client machine into ipxe,
2. issue the dhcp command,
3. restart the client machine

When I boot back into ipxe, the (seemingly endless) DHCP messages stop
appearing in syslog.

Debug info:
Waiting for link-up on net0... Link is up at 1000 Mbps. full duplex
Flow control is on for TX and on for RX
EEE is disabled

syslog:
