Sure.

img didnt work for me, hung after ...ready
using this cfg entry.  I havent yet looked at docs to figure out what
part of entry Ive botched, hints welcome

    LABEL HDT-0.5-beta3
      MENU LABEL ^5 HDT-0.5-beta3
      KERNEL hdt-0.5.0-beta3.img
      APPEND console=ttyS0,115200n8 reboot=bios



I tested the c32 module,
after dropping it into /var/lib/tftpboot/
containing 4.04 pre17

Vendor looks right, (no big delay either)
x86_64 looks right,
cache sizes still missing.
Model ID disagrees with /proc/cpuinfo (dont know which is correct)

THe other thing I noticed was a stray ']' before 'No;  in gPXE
Detected: line below.
