Since this is a puppet error, looking in puppet ironic for what to
fix/address would be the first place to do this.  Since we mount the
puppet modules from the host system, you can debug by modifying the
local modules under /usr/share/openstack-puppet/modules.  In this
particular error, it's trying to copy the ipxe file from
/usr/share/ipxe/ in the container to a different folder. It seems like
either the ipxe location has changed or the package is not installed
in the container.  You could launch an instance to inspect the
contents of the container to troubleshoot.  That being said, since
we're not seeing this in any of the CI jobs, I wonder what your
configuration(s) looks like and if you are pulling the correct
containers/repos/etc.
