no reason why it wouldn't work with any undi stack.  It just depends
on the program getting loaded and after that it takes over.  If you
want to use PXELinux, go right ahead.

Will it work with any UNDI stack? If not, it should.
One can use something like PXELinux that already does this.
It is preferable to do the typical PXE way.
pxeprom -> bootloader (PXELinux) -> preboot (ld.com) -> boot (9load)
via dhcp, pxe, and tftp.
