Search the archives :)
In short, add memdisk and the boot image to your pxelinux directory on 
the server

say A Dos
say B Linux

label A
kernel memdisk
append initrd=bootdisk.img

label B:
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.gz (something like this, you probably know Linux, I 
don't)

Note that not all DOS flavours boot with Memdisk, sometimes an 
additional parameter is needed for WinME kernel.
See memdisk docs.
