This did not seem to work.  I assume that the the ${mac}, ${asset:uristring} 
variables would be expanded within the syslinux menu system.

Creating an entry of 

LABEL iPXE
        MENU DEFAULT
        MENU LABEL iPXE Testing
        TEXT HELP
           Test to see if MAC address ${mac} for asset ${asset:uristring}
        ENDTEXT

in the syslinux vesamenu.c32 /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default did not result in a 
MAC address and asset tag being substituted in.

Am I wrong in expecting this to happen?
