Are you using the latest version of sanbootconf from the official source (https://git.ipxe.org/release/sanbootconf/sanbootconf-latest.zip)? Please note that the repository on etherboot.org is an unofficial repository and is well out of date. >From your debug transcript, it looks as though your (Intel(?))
