I've made a raw disk image with latest syslinux and ipxe setup on it.

http://co-lo.night-shade.org.uk/~tim/ipxe.syslinux.img.gz

It is a bootable 16MB raw disk image, which if you write to a memory
stick you can boot from it.

There is a file on there called script.ipxe which currently has an
example of an iscsi boot script but you can edit to do want you need.

To write the disk out under windows use http://www.winimage.com/

It's compressed with gzip so you will need to use something like 7zip to
extract it.
