thats what I was thinking so I tried the following

LABEL test
MENU LABEL test
KERNEL /gpxe/gpxelinux.0

and modified the default boot option in
/gpxe/pxelinux.cfg/default as follows

[quote]
PROMPT 1
DEFAULT bartpe
timeout 30

LABEL bartpe
MENU LABEL bartpe
KERNEL memdisk
INITRD http://10.255.11.252/slax/optional/bartpe.iso
APPEND iso raw

it looks like it is using the /pxelinux.cfg/default file because it
was still trying to boot local
I'll try removing gpxelinux.0 from the base directory.
