System: NetBSD
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
I have an automated testing setup that netboots an INSTALL kernel and
performs a scripted installation of NetBSD/amd64 on physical hardware
using sysinst.
This recently stopped working. As pxeboot starts to load the
kernel over TFTP, it restarts, leading to repeating output on the
console like this:
>> NetBSD/x86 PXE boot, Revision 5.1 (Fri Sep 13 05:13:54 UTC 2019) (from NetBSD 9.99.11)
>> Memory: 552/3668992 k
Press return to boot now, any other key for boot menu
booting netbsd - starting in 0 seconds.
PXE BIOS Version 2.1
Using PCI device at bus 3 device 0 function 0
Ethernet address 98:4b:e1:67:68:98

Press return to boot now, any other key for boot menu
booting netbsd - starting in 0 seconds.

After this loop has repeated several more times, the system gives up
on netbooting and boots from its second priority boot device (in this
case, the hard disk).
A full console log is at:

A packet capture of the network traffic is at:
http://www.gson.org/netbsd/bugs/pxeboot/2019.09.13.05.13.54.pcap
The problem started around the time of manu's changes to add multiboot 2
support on September 13.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to netboot an amd64 system using pxeboot.
