we are successfully using drbl to image our lab computers, which default boot pxe. To deploy bios updates for our lab machines (two different kinds of machines), I added the bios update to a custom fdos image. I was able to boot the image and apply the update, by editing the tftp configuration files accordingly. Now the question is, is it possible to somehow specify a list of clients (e.g. by mac address) to boot a certain freedos image. If not, it would be a nice-to-have feature.
Best regards and thank you!

Yes, you can.
Pxelinux provides such a mechanism, so you can give different clients different PXElinux config files. Please check: http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX
for more details.
