Syslinux - Aug 2003 - pxelinux localboot 0 fails?

I have a pxelinux I'm working with and I want the default option
to be to boot off the local mbr.  According to the docs, if I
specify localboot 0, it should return to the BIOS and continue to
the next device.  When I do this, though, the pxe agent exists
(PXE-M0F), but the BIOS never continues on.

Is this a BIOS issue?  If so, has anyone else figured out a way to
work around it?

Almost certainly a BIOS bug.  Try seeing what happens with "localboot
4"
or "localboot 5".

Try `localboot -1` or localboot 0x80.
