Not too sure how to do this.  What format is the IOS binary?  If we can 
determine that, we can make a guess about what gPXE build target you 
might try as a substitute.

Additionally, gPXE has SAN-boot protocols, but you would need a bit more 
than gPXE in order to boot the local HDD, such as PXELINUX and 
chain.c32.  Can you provide additional details about this scenario?  It 
sounds interesting, but I'm not too sure what you're after.
