pxelinux and it's menu.c32 is part of syslinux - not iPXE. With iPXE you could provide your own start script http://ipxe.org/embed pointing to your ipxe scripts, or even setting next-server and filename parameters and then chaining to pxelinux.0 here is a copy from one of my scripts imgfree set netX/next-server ${wds} set dhcp-server ${wds} set 208:hex f1:00:74:7e set 210:string Boot\${warch}\ set 209:string default chain ${tftproot}/pxelinux.0 I think it is also possible to modify options in pxelinux.0 but check the syslinux wiki for that.
