This works fine for me when chainloading PXELINUX or grub2 itself. But it fails
when chainloading the Solaris 10 U8 pxegrub. Specifically, we are doing PXE ->
Grub 2 -> pxegrub. pxegrub generates some output as follows:
Server: <correct IP address>
Site Option 150: <garbage>
BootFile: <bytes 1641-2049 of Grub 2's grub.cfg file>
Pxegrub then attempts to use the garbage above as a TFTP filename, which of
course doesn't work. Also, note that we do not use site option 150 in our DHCP
environment.
Note that chainloading PXE -> Grub 2 -> PXELINUX -> pxegrub generates exactly
the same problem above as chainloading PXE -> Grub 2 -> pxegrub, but
chainloading PXE -> PXELINUX -> pxegrub (i.e., without Grub 2) works just fine.
