Not strictly an answer to your question, but if you're using gpxelinux.0 then 
you could issue something equivalent to "set net0/252.string 
\path\to\BCD\file", which would cause the gPXE part to include option 252 
within the (always artificially constructed) DHCP reply.  That should work, 
though there may be an easier way to do it.
