Why are you setting the options in pxelinux.cfg ?
You aren't using a PXE bootrom.
You need to set your MOPTS options in dhcpd.conf, with a option-129
statement, and you need to make sure your option-128 is also set for
that workstation.
I only see one workstation with an option-128 set, and that's so that
you can pass 'NIC=tg3' to it. I don't see any other workstations with
option-129 set to anything.
