It certainly was, first port is used for PXE boot.

This is what I caught on serial console on boot:

Doesn't look wery trustworthy. :-( I'll check if I can find another
machine with the same card but more reasonable Intel Boot Agent.

This may be a bit tricky, the machine is in a test lab and I have only
remote access to it. I'll check if I can disable the Intel Boot Agent
using the serial console.
