If understand correctly you want to use an UNDI driver in gPXE without chainloading (which would force you to use DHCP). Try make bin/undi.usb. The undi image will try to load UNDI ROMs for PCI network devices. This way you do not need to chainload but can take advantage of the vendor UNDI driver. I can't test this right now but it should work. The relevant code is in src/arch/i386/drivers/net/.
