Good day, Ty.

1. What script are you using?

2. How did you build iPXE with that script?

3. What version does the iPXE you built report itself to be?

Does anyone have any idea why such simple functions are broken?  It's easy
to test...just shut down the DHCP server on your physical network segment
and watch as a script that is supposed to retry the DHCP request...doesn't.
It exits the script every time.

Did a fresh git sync and compiled undionly.kpxe.  Tried it, but got the same
results.

I don't think so, at least it's not ancient.  I did a git checkout only a
month ago.  I'll do a fresh download and see if that makes a difference,
though.

How recent is your iPXE version?

Could it be ancient enough to simply not support the new scripting features
yet? It's always a good idea to try the most recent version anyway.
