You could try booting your computer to gpxelinux.0, if you are 
chain-loading from your NIC's vendor-provided PXE.  If you are not, you 
could use a custom build of gPXE which includes PXELINUX.  See the 
documentation for building gPXE in the Download section of the Etherboot 
wiki for details.

Using gpxelinux.0, your menu config-file might go something like this:

LABEL foo
  COM32 sanboot.c32
  APPEND iscsi:192.168.0.33::::baz:foo
LABEL bar
  COM32 sanboot.c32
  APPEND iscsi:192.168.0.33::::baz:bar

You'd need Syslinux' sanboot.c32 module available in your TFTP service 
directory for the above.
