Indeed there is haiku_loader.pxe_ia32 and haiku_netboot.tgz in 32 bits mode. But none for x64 seem to exist yet.

Restore PXE boot on haiku 32 bits (was not working since 2022 due to tarfs size too small, and error message hard to debug cause the zlib error is silently catched somewhere ; i can't recall the details, i did the analysis in 2022).

-I had to bump the tarfs size (9Mb seems too short, i put 11).
-The NetbootArchive is missing some drivers/addons :
+usb
+pci, pci/x86
+generic_x86

I tried to pave the way for x86_64 so some tags are for the latter in prevision.
