A switch should not interfere with pxe booting.

Simply leave the switch out and connect directly via cable.
Please note:
If you are using halfway recent network adaptors, they will 
automatically adapt to the direct cable link. If they do not,
you will need to use a crossover network cable.
see here for more information:

regards and again, I doubt that the problem is switch 
related, given that the switch is unmanaged or correctly 
managed.
