gpxe trims down kernel arguments?

Hi,

I'm using a gpxe hardcoded script to query a remote web server for boot
instructions, such as :

#!gpxe
kernel
http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/vmlinuzks=
http://192.168.0.167:3000/unattended/kickstart/static=yes ksdevice=bootif
network kssendmac ip=${net0/ip} netmask=${net0/netmask}
gateway=${net0/gateway} dns=${net0/dns}
initrd
http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
boot

the machine boot just fine, however, the if I look at /proc/cmdline, I see
that the uri port is missing - it gets translated into
ks=http://192.168.0.167/unattended/kickstart...

I'm not sure if its parsing error on anaconda side, or rather that gpxe
trims down the port argument?

thanks,
Ohad
