Ok, works well, but I think than "-boot order=c" is buggy, right?

Thnx. Works well by specifying no romfile, that's the trick. I had the 
problem than otherwise devices were created. But I'm still getting the
following iPXE rom message:
iPXE v1.0.0-591-g7aee315
iPXE (http://ipxe.org) 00:03.0 CA00 PCI2.10 PnP PMM+0FFCA670+0FF8A670 CA00

How to disable it, too?
What's this option ROM doing? Is it a general iPXE main loader?

Thnx to all who replied.

Ciao,
Gerhard
