If it doesn't support dissecting those option tags in its BOOTP/DHCP
dissector, it could probably be made to do so, by somebody who has

        1) the time to do so

and

        2) a specification that documents those option tags.

I don't know what those option tags are, so I don't know whether it
supports them.  Back in 2001, some code was added to support dissecting
some PXE client suboptions, but I don't know whether that's all of the
options that PXE uses.
