Hello,


Being a bootloader, that iPXE is, implies starting with nothing.
Having nothing means having no debugprintroutines.

What is the first console output that iPXE produces?


Which DEBUG=   to use to follow the program flow?
As in:  Which .c file contains main()?


( https://ipxe.org/download#debug_builds doesn't tell )
