I resolve my problem.

If you need, what I need in 1st post:
1. Open in text-editor file syslinux.cfg (in syslinux folder).
2. Add this text to end of file:

label Clonezilla live
  MENU DEFAULT
  # MENU HIDE
  MENU LABEL Clonezilla live (Network restore)
  # MENU PASSWD
  kernel /live/vmlinuz
  append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live config  noswap nolocales edd=on nomodeset noprompt ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_keymap="NONE" ocs_live_batch="no" ocs_lang="en_EN.UTF-8" vga=788 ocs_live_prerun="dhclient" ocs_prerun1="sleep 2" ocs_prerun2="sudo mount -t cifs -o user=user_name //192.x.x.x/folder_to_images /home/partimag" ocs_live_run="ocs-sr -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -c -r -j2 -k -p true restoreparts ask_user sda1"   nosplash  nosplash
  TEXT HELP
  * Clonezilla live version: 1.2.8-23-i486. (C) 2003-2011, NCHC, Taiwan
  ENDTEXT

3. Done :)

I have a question about samba's folder path. In my path I have spaces, like this '//192.168.0.1/folder1/big folder". Clonezilla can't mount this folder. How I can resolve this?

And another one question.
How I can to do Clonezilla work after load without  usb-flash? It looks like - I put a flash in the computer, load the clonezilla, select the image to restore and remove flash (without waiting for the end of the recovery).

'like this '//192.168.0.1/folder1/big folder". Clonezilla can't mount this folder.' -> Did you mean there is a space in the dir name? Maybe you can try to put a \ before the space, i.e.
//192.168.0.1/folder1/big\ folder

"I put a flash in the computer, load the clonezilla, select the image to restore and remove flash (without waiting for the end of the recovery)." -> If the image is not on the flash drive, you can add "toram" to the boot parameters, so all the clonezilla files will be copied to RAM after booting.
