[syslinux] PXELinux + Altiris + Tivoli.

Good day Vladimir,

IBM TPMfOSd sends additional DHCP options in its DHCPOFFER to a
PXE-booting client.  Furthermore, the file that it offers (Rembo-ia32
for x86 clients) is a dynamically generated binary, specific to each
client.  It is thus not sufficient to merely chain some saved Rembo-ia32
on some TFTP server.

A TPMfOSd-booting client requires the DHCP options from the Tivoli
server.  If you have multiple PXE services on the same Ethernet
broadcast domain, that could be a problem.

You can look into using the PXECHAIN.COM program, included with
Syslinux.

  LABEL altiris
    COMBOOT pxechain.com
    APPEND 192.168.0.101::BStrap\X86pc\BStrap.0
