[Soekris] pxegrub problem with 4801

[Gustavo Rios]

Excuse me, but why pxegrub is necessary to boot openbsd? Isn't the
default openbsd pxeboot enough.

Don't get me wrong, i will have to install openbsd on a soekris box in
the upcomming day, and i would like to prevent problem.

Thanks for you help.
