Not quite sure on what level you want a response, but PXE booting
machine are full dhcp clients, able to take advantage of all relevant
features. They also support tftp otherwise they would not be able to
download pxelinux.0.
Having said that, it would be nice to specify the IP + boot server/image
in BIOS.
