Yes it is the same floppy image I was testing using both methods.  

DOS is fully functional in the gPXE -> PXELINUX -> MEMDISK testing.  I
can get an IP address in DOS and can ping, etc.  

DOS is NOT fully functional in the gPXE -> MEMDISK method.  I can't run
netbind.com which is run just before the client requests a DHCP address.
If I skip the netbind.com process the client can't pickup an IP address.


You should be able to download the floppy image from here:

There's nothing sensitive on it.  It's just a LANDesk boot floppy.

Is this the same floppy image as you tested in your gPXE -> PXELINUX ->
MEMDISK test?  If so, does the DOS networking fully work in that
scenario, but not in the above gPXE -> MEMDISK scenario?

Are you able to remove sensitive and/or proprietary data from your
floppy disk image and share it somewhere?
