Oh, I didn't realize I updated a PXE boot PR. I am not PXE: I tested
with real media in a Dell, and with Dell iDRAC virtualized media, and

I absolutely represent a user who has h/w which I can reproducably
show cannot load UEFI from true and virtualized local media, not PXE.

And, this state has existed for some time.
