Okay - I was using the updated one from www.memtest.org (more chipset 
support and some cool timing features I use) but I'll give the 3.2 a try 
again tonight.

Well, this is all well and good (and interesting like you said) but can 
I use PXELINUX to load DOS boot images? I'm actually not using (or 
loading) Linux at all. The only ELF image I'm using is memtest and 
everything else is nbi'd MS-DOS images for running Ghost, etc. I'll 
gladly switch to using PXELINUX, but it seems somewhat convoluted when 
I've no intention of using it to load Linux! Also, doesn't this point to 
perhaps a different problem with etherboot since the older versions work 
and load the ELF image of memtest via a nfl menu when the new versions 
don't?

Thanks for your time and effort! Keep up the good work and I'll report 
back with my PXELINUX efforts...
