I'm not sure that I follow. Getting the workstation to load the kernel is the only 
part that is different from any other client making a request. If you are getting past 
that point, the rest is trivial...as long as your root-path in dhcpd.conf is where the 
workstation can see it. Macs, Windows, etc will all ignore the root-path option as 
well as any other options they don't need.

Cheers
