A quick google  on those error codes gets "The "PXE-T01" and "PXE-E3B"
errors indicate that the PXE client received a "file not found" error
message from the TFTP server when sending a request" So we need to look
at your arrangements for the TFTP server. Are you using dnsmasq for
that? Anything useful in the log?
