Interesting!  There is even an image of the ROM downloadable if you 
enter vendor 8086 and device 100E. 
http://rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-1.0.1/contrib/rom-o-matic/

% VBoxManage setextradata global VBoxInternal/Devices/pcbios/0/Config/LanBootRom gpxe-1.0.1-8086100e.rom

Set bridged mode, choose the Intel Pro/1000 MT adapter, boot from Lan... 
but it still only shows "FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! 
System halted."
