Example password hashes in iPXE guide don't work #1251

@bwarden

Description

@bwarden

Describe the error/improvement to an existing document or image
The password hashes in the iPXE installation guide have extraneous backslashes inserted prior to $ characters. As these fields are written as-is to /etc/shadow on the installed system, they are invalid password hashes, and will prevent login.
