For a start, please upgrade to iPXE (http://ipxe.org) since gPXE is no longer 
maintained.  iPXE is approximately 18 months ahead of gPXE in terms of 
development.

You may be pleased to know that the scripting support has been substantially 
improved, and that you can now do things like handling errors.  For example:

  :retry_dhcp
  dhcp net0 || goto retry_dhcp

Full details are available at
