Hi,
Since upstream version 2.00, a GRUB2 PXE image fails to set
grub_net_default_server and so is unable to proceed with booting.
I built the image with:
> grub-mkimage -O i386-pc-pxe --prefix="(pxe)" -o grub2pxe pxe tftp
The image is not given a multiboot signature.
I'm testing under Qemu with iPXE firmware (but with Etherboot it shows
the same issue).
> $ qemu-system-x86_64 -m 128 -enable-kvm -net nic -net
> user,bootfile=grub2pxe,tftp=. -boot n
It fails like this:

net_ls_addr shows no output.
If I run net_bootp manually, it gets an IP address and sets
net_pxe_dhcp_*, but still does not set net_default_server or
pxe_default_server.
If I set net_default_server manually (to 10.0.2.2) I can then fetch
files via TFTP through the "(pxe)" device.
