I am not sure there are real multiboot + PXE usage. Perhaps we can just
disable multiboot 2 for PXE without looking further into what the
problem actually is.

In case you ar ecurious and want to look into it further, my first hunch
is that the multiboot 2 code increases the pxeboot_ia32.bin file beyond
64kB. You can easily test if this is the problem, remove CPPFLAGS+=
-DNO_MULTIBOOT2 and instead add

CPPFLAGS+= -DNO_GPT 
CPPFLAGS+= -DNO_RAIDFRAME

You will get a pxeboot_ia32.bin below 64 kB with multiboot 2 enabled. If
that boots, then we have our answer.
