A couple of comments that might be relevant:

_ You mentioned you "have 2 different boot files in 2 different 
locations". You should be able to use 2 different boot files with 2 
respective configuration files, all in one-and-the-same root location. 
In other words: dhcp option 209 (pxelinux.configfile) would point to 2 
different config files, while option 210 (pxelinux.pathprefix) _can_ be 
the same for both types of firmware.

_ pxelinux-options was broken since 4.00, so you need version 6.03 (or 
newer).
