Obviously, you are using a packet driver which doesn't support multicasting.
Since that's not required by the netboot bootrom, it shouldn't print an error
though. This is clearly a bug in the packet driver handler which will be fixed
in the next release. In the meantime you should try using an NDIS driver.
