As I undertand it (and I haven't run the PXE boot method yet) the issue is that the box being imaged has to get all of it's information from the DHCP and BOOTP server. So that means it will either default to the DHCP server since that's the only thing it can find or the DHCP server will have to tell it where to go for the Image Server. There are a couple of special options that you can set on the DHCP server to support the use of a different Image Server. Look for a file called README.SystemImager_DHCP_options. (From the svn server at http://svn.systemimager.org/filedetails.php?repname=systemimager&path=%2Ftrunk%2FREADME.SystemImager_DHCP_options&rev=0&sc=0)
>From the file: See http://www.iana.org/assignments/bootp-dhcp-parameters for details on DHCP options. The following are special DHCP options used by SystemImager. option-140 -> IMAGESERVER option-141 -> LOG_SERVER_PORT option-142 -> SSH_DOWNLOAD_URL option-143 -> FLAMETHROWER_DIRECTORY_PORTBASE option-144 -> TMPFS_STAGING Hopefully that will help some and then you can probably look at the OSCAR documentation for further details on setting up the servers and automating installation.
