Hi Michael,
I've just tried the pxeboot for both i386 and x86_64, and it worked.

It's possible that it's trying to use a driver that might not work 
correctly.  I don't have the serverworks chipset on the machine I'm testing.

Does it just hang at this spot, or reboot, or through a kernel error of 
some type?
