Can You clarify what do You want to do after inventory has been send ??
Shutdown ?
I would wait in a loop for a file <MAC>.initrd to be created and boot 
with that.
My use case would be to boot small kernel with small initrd+network module
needed and get everything else from linux.

Sorry for my english
