It's not quite that simple.  Those files are highly interlinked with the
rest of the media they are running on.

The simplest one is .0 for network, which you can simply do by
re-loading pxelinux.0:

label restart
	pxe pxelinux.0

... and it should be able to re-chain indefinitely.  In particular, the
load address should be the same every time (if it is decreasing
numerically every time, the PXE stack is failing to unload.)

Let me look to see what I have in that department.
