I have found that on some motherboards setting the boot options to boot
from LAN is not enough.  Sometimes you also need to enable the LAN boot
ROM option found elsewhere in some chipset options.  It sounds odd since
usually there is no LAN boot ROM socket with onboard chipsets, but in
many cases enabling that option has allowed systems that wouldn't
otherwise boot of the onboard NIC to work.
