gpxelinux.0 is what I've used in my PXE article.  The latest version I 
tried was from SYSLINUX 4.04.  gPXE is loaded as a secondary boot loader 
because it is more versatile than the typical TFTP-only loaders.  In 
other words, the client PXE boots and loads gPXE.

This is set up to boot into a menu.  I have not tried direct booting 
without the menu.
