UEFI PXE is different than BIOS PXE and needs to download different
software from the TFTP server.  I use syslinux for BIOS PXE, but it
doesn't seem to work with UEFI PXE so I use grub2 (I use the secure boot
shim from Fedora to support as many setups as practical).  You can have
both available at the same time (takes a DHCP tweak).

Just like the early days of BIOS PXE however, UEFI PXE clients don't
always seem to do the right thing.  I have an Intel NUC (7th gen), and
it always fails with UEFI PXE.
