humm yes ;-P (even a bzImage) do I do wrong ? 
I was talking about bootp protocol directly in this case (no pxelinux)
My image is tfpboot.img

But when I use pxelinux, i change my dhcpd.conf and I use pxelinux.0 
then I have the "Boot:" and then I ask for my image that have the LABEL pxe

Am I clear ?
