Correct. This configuration takes care of talking to DHCP and TFTP.
I specify the file in my dhcpd.conf file.
When I connect a monitor to a node and boot it from USB I do see it get
the IP address, request a file, get the filename I specified and then
try to get it.
I usually then get messages like:
- file not found
- unrecognised file
I think I should go back and read up on syslinux to see what it expects.

There is definitely no link between the syslinux and the file it needs
to download. I don't exactly know if you have to specify one
explicitly. With PXE that gets kicked off through DHCP's config... I
don't know where syslinux gets it from... it could be in the
syslinux.cfg
How far does the boot get? Do you get any messages from the bootloader
or the kernel?
Maybe you can enable loggin in TFTP to see which file it got, if any.
Check your in.tftpd man page, but adding --verbose[=7 should log
everything through one of the syslog files.
