I've found GRUB to be more flexible. It supports loading a kernel and initrd over a network, and isn't as fussy about your TFTP server. Grab the latest source, and use "./configure --help" to get a listing of the NIC drivers it includes, and any other options that you'd need. If it doesn't boot, you can reboot GRUB into a console mode and try manually setting it up. Of course, you do have to create your own config file, and make one or two assumptions about how the remote side will be set up. Still, it's an option.
