Yes, it is possible to enforce PXE network boot even when an SD card is
inserted. The firmware continues booting from the network in that case.
FWIW the boot ROM indicates the chosen boot method by storing some
status values in the mailbox registers (totally undocumented, of
course), but I'm not sure whether the firmware makes use of them, or if
they re-implement the boot ROM logic.

So, yes, let's start easy.
