This turned out to be the use of pxelinux.0 from the Lenny beta2 with the
vesamenu.cfg from the dailies. Once I upgraded to the pxelinus.0 from the
dailies the problem went away. This mail is just to document the solution
in case someone else makes the same (stupid) mistake.
Apologies for the noise
