Peter, You are using PXE to load a kernel prepared for Etherboot.
You can't load a kernel directly using PXE. You have to load a 2nd stage boot loader, like pxelinux.0 or, you could load an etherboot image from PXE, which will then turn around and load a kernel. You can use the pxestuff package available on the http://www.LTSP.org/instructions-3.0.html page.
