You'll want pxelinux.bin in /tftpboot, for starters- you'll have a file in pxelinux.cfg named with the hexadecimal IP address of the client (something like, oh, B03C0C19 - dependant on the IP address of course), which should tell tftp where to look for another kernel/initrd. You usually want the ones from:
/usr/share/systemimager/boot/i386/image-name/
The hex-file contents can be based off the file:
/etc/systemimager/pxelinux.cfg/syslinux.cfg
Hmm. You should probably copy message.txt into /tftpboot while you're at it, since it references that... and put the kernel and initrd files in the root of /tftpboot too. Unless you want to have several images to pick from, in which case name them something different or stuff them in directories and change the paths referenced in that file.

This is the part that I'm a trifle fuzzy on :) If you do have a dhcpd.conf already, you can use it, but... You can use it, certainly. I think you will need to modify it, though, or.... can you pass the image server IP address as a parameter in the pxelinux.cfg files too, I wonder...? Ah, someone else should answer this.
