It *appears* focal ships https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/ipxe with 1.0.0+git-20190109.133f4ce

Where as Jammy ships https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/ipxe 1.21.1+git-20220113.fbbdc3926

Between the images, both utilize the same configuration, virtio. Both are bios booting. The newer version just can't seem to read from the disk.
