I believe I've seen this before when booting i386 kernels from soekris
boards. I've taken to using pxeboot to load netboot and then use
netboot to load a kernel as the netboot drivers are way faster (for
soekris at least). Hopping through netboot also lets you have a menu to
select one of several kernels to load.
