Haven't looked at your config files (binary attachment) but you can find
working sample config files that define all possible Etherboot DHCP
options and will transparently work with both encapsulated and
non-encapsulated options in contrib/initrd/dhcpd.conf.etherboot.include.

To use this file, simply add

  include "/etc/dhcpd.conf.etherboot.include";

to your dhcpd.conf file, and then use options like

  option etherboot.motd-1 = "Hello world!";
  option etherboot.image-1 = "...menu option 1...";

The Etherboot magic (option 128) etc. will be added automatically.
