I am curious to see if this board supports PXE as well.  The manual shows an
option for "Onboard LAN Boot Rom", which some forums seem to suggest is the
PXE boot option (although the boot menu options do not appear include a
network option).  I have an Asus M3A board which also has a similar option
called "Onboard NIC OPTROM", so I enabled it to see what happended.  The
system booted as usual, loading grub from the hard disk.  I had a network
capture enabled on another PC, I didn't see any dhcp requests as would be
expected with PXE.  Perhaps I'll check over on the Asus forums.
