This was very occasionally working but mostly not. I updated the
boot firmware of the Intel I350 NICs and now it seems to work every
time.

Previously it was stopping after downloading
debian-installer/amd64/grubx64.efi by TFTP, and just showing me a
grub> prompt. Now it goes on to request all the other bits of the
installer, and works.

I have no idea what was wrong before but there are a few other
reports of EFI PXE boot problems being fixed by NIC firmware
upgrade.

Cheers,
Andy
