Syslinux - Jul 2014 - Setting up and helping debug EFI PXE booting

Hello,

I see lots of current activity trying to get EFI PXE working both with new
and "old" kernels (RHEL 6.5) and lots of failures.

I've got several real pieces of hardware (AMD APU, Intel E5-2600, etc.)
with a variety of BIOS and NIC that have EFI PXE stacks to test with.

But I find zero documentation that's up to date on the wiki of how to
configure a DHCP server to send the right syslinux.efi when an EFI PXE
clients sends a request and how to configure the TFTP directory structure
(what's required, etc.)

I think I can get the basic setup configured and create a write up for the
wiki.  But if someone has notes already written to get me started testing
quicker that would be helpful.

Thanks,
Phil P.

Perhaps one possibility already mentioned in this Syslinux Mailing 
List could help?

For example:
