Nevertherless GRUB iss still my favourite, especially with
strange architectures. I think that PXE bootrom occupies the
memory, because the problem doesn't exists when GRUBbing from
HDD, only when I use pxegrub. I don't know how to hide PXE
ROM, but I saw that feature in bpBatch. Perhaps there's a way
to hide the rom just before booting.
