Description

It would be helpful for debugging if the iPXE boot templates did a `ping --count=1 < gateway >` and `ping --count=1 < nameserver >` to help diagnose boot issues.

In theory this would delay boot by less than 1 second, when things are working as expected. And when things are not right, the connectivity failure will be fairly clear.

Would also be handy to ping the content source, but I'm not sure how easily that is exposed to the templates.
