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.
