Testing pixiecore

This is a braindump of the different hardware configurations that exhibit different behaviors.

Machine Firmware PXE firmware Notes
Proxmox VM SeaBIOS iPXE
Proxmox VM OVMF OVMF Good UEFI baseline, many UEFI firmwares are derived from OVMF/TianoCore/EDK2e
VirtualBox (OSS) VirtualBox BIOS customized iPXE Cannot boot with next-server and filename, must be booted with iPXE-specific commands
VirtualBox (w/ extension pack) VirtualBox BIOS Intel UNDI Good BIOS baseline, Intel UNDI is the basis for many BIOS PXE firmwares
VirtualBox (OSS) VirtualBox EFI ?? Unclear what the EFI firmware is, but provides more diversity
Dell R610 Dell BIOS Dell The only bare metal machine I have right now with remote management. Strange custom firmwares, also a decent variety test.
