I think there is some magic missing   ( pun intended )

At http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX#Can_I_send_information_to_PXELINUX_via_special_options_in_the_DHCP_response.3F
is the background information about it.

My advice is to visit that URL and play with scripts like these


 #!gpxe
 dhcp net0
 set 208:string \xF1\x00\x74\x7E
 set 210:text http://webserver/
 chain ${210}pxelinux.0


 #!gpxe
 dhcp net0
 set 208:string F1:00:74:7E
 set 210:text http://webserver/
 chain ${210}pxelinux.0


 #!gpxe
 dhcp net0
 set 208:string 241.0.116.126
 set 210:text http://webserver/
 chain ${210}pxelinux.0
