Those files cannot be the cause of your problem. pxeboot is loaded 
directly into memory by the NIC boot rom and emulates the boot[12] 
environment for the loader (/boot/loader), thus it doesn't need to 
load or use the other bootstrap pieces (boot[012]). Besides, you 
reported the problem with 4.4-PRERELEASE but the changes to boot[12] 
have not been MFC'd (yet).
