Changed

mkdir /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg

Done

When I boot the machine, the last few lines are:

Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/C
Trying to load: pxelinux.cfg/default
Loading
Invalid or corrupt kernel image.
Boot:

Sorry for spelling it all out, but I figure too much info is easy to 
scroll past, right? ;)
I've never used pxelinux before (or tried to load it for that matter!) 
so I'm not sure if this is indicative of the problem I'm having or if 
its me hosing up the pxelinux config. Let me know if I can try anything 
else for you!
   Thanks  -Sam
