I have returned to this and created a patch for dnsmasq that allows it to netboot both older and newer Macs. The patch is attached to this email.

I have attached the current configuration file that I have. While it works for PXE, it does not work for OS X. The problem seems to be with DHCP proxying, because netbooting OS X works if I change the dhcp-range line to allocate IP addresses in a given range. But I don't want the appliance to conflict with the networks's authoritative DHCP server. Is there anyway this could be done? I'm not sure there is: the proxy function (ie get boot parameters from one DHCP/PXE server, IP address from another DHCP server) is PXE specific, I think. Unless the Apple boot protocol implements the same thing somehow, what you want is not possible. Caveat: I know nothing of the Apple Boot protocol. so I may have missed something.
