The "too many packages" message is the classic sign of PXE (and
specifically Intel's library code which is used by other cards). If
you see this, you don't need to guess, it's a racing certainty that
PXE is involved.

PXE can cope only with a small (<32KB) NBP image. I am still in awe of
the dimwittedness of a firmware spec which (apparently intentionally)
makes a *point* of its inability to boot a full kernel. Dohhh...

BTW, a brave soul has volunteered on etherboot-developers to write a
PXE UNDI driver for Etherboot, which should make for a much neater
solution for PXE firmware, especially if coexisting with EB-flashed
clients.
