From: http://ipxe.org/cmd/ifconf

ifconf documentation Wrote:iPXE will open the first specified network interface and attempt to automatically configure it. If automatic configuration succeeds, the command will terminate and the network interface will be left open. If automatic configuration fails, the network interface will be closed and iPXE will proceed to the next network interface in the list.
If no network interfaces are explicitly specified, iPXE will try all available network interfaces.
If no configurators are explicitly specified, iPXE will try all available configurators.

So the retry, as is also shown as an example on that page should work.

The default for iPXE is to run: http://ipxe.org/cmd/autoboot


For your actuall issue, have you made sure that the machine is not connected to a Switch that has STP enabled? The error you get on failure gives you an url that might have some suggestions to try.

also please run ifconf on the machine and document which nics you have with mac adress and also which driver is in use for each nic.
