[ipxe-devel] wimboot

[mwhelton at gmail.com]

I noticed on HyperV Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hosts (Hyper-V v2) using the Legacy  
Network Adapter that the VM Guest fails to boot the WIM (BSOD)... I can't  
capture the error remotely, so I'll try it with local console access and  
report back.

Best,

Matt
