Sorry Beth,
As we discuss on a long mail thread, I am not the right QE for the verification of this BZ.

*** Bug 1634838 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Hi Jeff,

Could you please help verify this bug? Thanks!

Verified on RHEL-8.0.0-20180213.0 (Snapshot 6.0) by iPXE booting a virtual machine.  The host system was configured as a PXE server (DHCP + TFTP) for the guests.
