Yes. Append these options (as one line) to your tftpboot files under
pxelinux.cfg:
z_user=your_username z_pass=your_password z_path=//your_sername/your_sharename
i.e.:
label linux-auto
kernel bzImage
append initrd=initrd.auto z_user=your_username z_pass=your_password
z_path=//your_sername/your_sharename
(mind the line wrap)
