Log Message:
- similar to bootconf, document that pxeboot_ia32.bin has the module
loading option turned off by default, and explain how to turn it on.
- remove XXX comment: yes, even when boot.cfg is loaded, DHCP is still
used to get file names (checked with a quick PXE boot + DHCP/TFTP platform)
- document in BUGS section that all DOM0 kernels are loaded as modules,
so you may have to explicitely set the boot device for root fs on network,
depending on your setup
