+You might also need to append machine specific kernel cmdline into grub.cfg. e.g. console=ttyS0,115200n8.
+
+Reconfigure the dhcp server for grubnetx64.efi as filename and next-server as installed Ubuntu machine. e.g.
+
+host testbed {
+  hardware ethernet 00:00:00:11:22:33;
+  next-server <host>;
+  filename "grubnetx64.efi";
+}
+
+Power on your amd64 machine and boot from ethernet. Connect to console output and you shall see grub menu. Press ENTER to load kernel and finish the installation.
