PXE Booting Vista/PE 2.0 Using PXELINUX.0

[Guest]

I have searched hi and lo for days, trying to find someone with insight as to
how to go about booting Vista -or- PE v2.0 via PXE through the PXELINUX.0
boot-loader.
Regardless of what I try with PXELINUX, when selecting the KERNEL as
PXEBOOT.COM or .0, I get a Number 1 (1) at the lower left of the screen & the
systems lock up.

Posters have been very quick to provide detailed solutions and then throw it
out the window (no pun intended) by changing the PXE boot file to PXEBOOT.0
or PXEBOOT.COM. Does anyone but me realize this is BYPASSING PXELINUX?

We currently have a lab with over 1,300 systems that we image using
PXELINUX. I cannot change the TFTP server to point to PXEBOOT.COM as this
will screw up our entire existing functionality.

Is there a way to use PXELINUX and/or a 'Menu System' we can invoke, post
PXEBoot.com that would enable me to create menus AND boot?

Hi,

on your TFTP server, copy pxeboot.n12 to pxeboot.0 . Then use Boot/pxeboot.0
as your kernel statement.
The lines I used with pxelinux and vesamenu:

label winpe
MENU LABEL ^Windows PE
kernel Boot/pxeboot.0
