Thanks for your attention! It's late here, I'll try to understand and see 
what I can do tomorrow.

Just for info, simply copying pxeboot from a 5.3-release (also real 
verified with 5.2.1 no 5.4 so far) DVD works. Bisides that I need sio 
support in pxeldr so I have to compile it my own. And of course I'd love 
to have the new comspeed config option :)

Expect to here from me the next 48 hours, tommorow I'm too busy as I could 
just see :(

Thanks again,
