Thanks for that caution. In the several dozen times that I have booted
up the client (actually swapping in several machines as the sole
client), I have one time gotten a message that the server failed to
respond in the middle of the boot. So perhaps that explains it.
But it worked fine at the next boot attempt.
So for this non-critical little setup, the cross-over cable has been a
good solution.

At least one of my old network adapters apparently does not sense the direct
cable connection over a straight-through cable and provide auto-correction.
In my experience auto-sense sometimes causes enough of a timing delay that it
can cause PXE boot to fail, as an auto-sense interface can go up and down during
the process, and the server-side or client-side might fail to auto-negotiate
fast enough to meet the DHCP, TFTP or other timeouts.
