[syslinux] merging multiple diskettes for pxelinux usage

I have some hardware vendor diagnostic utilities that I'd like to use
via PXE. One example is a three diskette test suite. How can I merge
all these diskettes into a single PXE bootable image?

I have been using pxelinux, memdisk, and isolinux successfully for other
things, so I'm a little embarrased even asking. Is there a way to PXE
boot ISO images? Can syslinux support larger than 2.8MB floppy images?

I've already merged these utilities into a isolinux CD that is
functional, it would be ideal if I could just pxeboot that ISO image,
but I'm skeptical as to whether or not thats even possible.
