possible pxelinux.asm error
The syslinux-3.51 file pxelinux.asm appears to have an error in parsing
dhcp options.

Line 2267 has code to parse boot file names from the dhcp options:
dopt 64, bootfile_name
mov di,BootFile
jmp dhcp_copyoption

however the correct rfc2132 option for the bootfile is decimal 67 and
NOT 64.
The would seem to prevent some servers like dnsmasq from serving
this client.

Indeed, this is wrong.
