That's not an error.  Your embedded script simply hasn't attempted to 
open the network card (e.g. via "ifopen", or implicitly via "dhcp" or 
"autoboot").

You can't enable IMAGE_EFI for a BIOS build.  EFI images can only run on 
a EFI system (and are automatically enabled if you are building an EFI 
version of iPXE).
