It is, and works like a charm. One way: Configure the kernel for IP autoconfig and nfsroot, 
and give 'nfsroot=<server-ip>:<nfsroot-dir> ip=dhcp' to the kernel. For this you should have
dhcp and nfs configured correctly.

It seems you mix pxelinux with syslinux. syslinux is for booting from floppy, pxelinux is
for booting from pxe-enabled network cards. You usually would boot the client via the
pxe-enabled card & pxelinux to get the kernel, and then try the above for nfsroot.

You can't 'load' syslinux, it is the boot loader and thus loaded before you can do anything.
syslinux is the one that displays the boot:-prompt ...

I don't understand what you want to do. Please tell more details.
