Bug Description
Instead it should use chain.c32. The PXE config should be:
DEFAULT local
PROMPT 0
TIMEOUT 0
TOTALTIMEOUT 0
ONTIMEOUT local
LABEL local
KERNEL chain.c32
It also means we need to put chain.c32 in the appropriate places in the tftp tree (where TFTP is rooted for amd64 and i386).

Note that it should use chain.c32 on Intel only. On all other architectures, please continue using LOCALBOOT.
(I understand that you may decide to switch completely to chain.c32 for now and rely on an external ARM patch for ARM people, which is fine, and I'll track that)
