UEFI platforms may provide a watchdog timer, which will reboot the machine if an operating system takes more than five minutes to load. This can cause long-lived iPXE downloads (or interactive shell sessions) to unexpectedly reboot. Fix by resetting the watchdog timer every ten seconds while the iPXE main processing loop continues to run.
