I originally sent this from the wrong email address and so it got hung
up on list moderation.

This is almost certainly hard coded in the PXELinux boot script to
default to BIOS disk 0x80. Have a look at
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=SYSLINUX#LOCALBOOT_type
and see if it helps.

I would dig into this myself because I want to make my HPE servers
boot as well, but I'm 3265km and two months away from my MAAS servers.

Cheers,
Lloyd
