the pxe boot works thusly: dhcp server gives the machine an ip address, and points it to the pxe boot server...this server (usually the dhcp serve) runs tfpt, you have information in the /tftpboot directory that loads a kernel and initrd file, and that file contains instructions to start the autoinstall script, which it rsyncs from the imager server.
