Incidentally, the PXELINUX configuration options are *not* part of the 
PXE configuration space, which is a vendor-option-space.  The PXELINUX 
configuration options live in a site-option-space, and so need to be 
kept separate.

It looks, above, that you're trying to do MTFTP and so you already have 
at least one PXE-specific server installed.  It seems that for PXE, 
there really is "all or nothing" -- either don't use any PXE options and 
use simple DHCP/TFTP, or run a full PXE server.
