Since Version 2.12 of grub VMWare VSphrere VMEXNET3 Network Cards cannot get a
remote configfile in Legacy(BIOS) mode.
With 2.06 it worked fine. Since 2.12 it doesn't work anymore.
Setting debug=all doesn't provide any debugging informantion.
Accessing the remote configfile is done via
configfile (tftp,IP)/PATH/grub.cfg
There is no TFTP request on the designated server. And no message on the
machine itself, just a cursors and then it returns into the grub shell.
The network card however seems configured, it has the correct IP address.
However running a net_nslookup doesn't return anything, same behaviours as
with the configfile command.
UEFI mode works though, but some customers/users don't want to switch their
VMs to UEFI.
