don't forget you can define PXE config files based on the IP, IP range 
or MAC address of the server. This means that you don't have to select 
the correct pxeboot option from a PXE menu it will select the most 
precise config file automatically.

see the following
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX#Configuration

also you can pass additional arguments on the pxeboot line so that you 
can read from your pre and post scripts using /proc/cmdline.
