Also, I've attempted PXE setup with Apache and TFTP before but not had much luck. You have your howto laying around on how you have your server configed?

Sure, I'll be happy to share. There's no black magic or trade secrets, my setup goes back to 2006 :-) No apache involved btw. Only tftpd and dhcp. You can run the tftp daemon from xinetd or just permanently. I run it permanently, but it doesn't matter. I use /srv/tftpboot as my main directory. Whatever you want to use just needs specifying with '-s' when starting in.tftpd. Next important directory is <tftpdir>/pxelinux.cfg/ Under that you will find files such as: 01-00-01-2e-6b-a0-c0 The above is for my Zotac mini PC. AFAIK, the '01' indicates 'ethernet', the rest is the MAC address.
