I can't say I've had any experience with tc-terminal-server but can say I have quite a bit with PXELINUX as a user and contributor.  I would be curious at a quick analysis of the DHCP packets.  I've found that the RFC 2131 fields sname and file are generally the only ones that matter and that attempting to pack those fields with DHCP options (using RFC2132 option 52) and use DHCP options 66/67 generally doesn't work with PXE clients.  PXELINUX however can deal with these but if the underlying OROM doesn't handle them, PXELINUX is never loaded in the first place.

As a side-note, on a Microsoft DHCP server, you set the DHCP options 66/67 BUT the server then uses this data to populate the sname/file fields and doesn't present DHCP options 66/67 to the client (probably assuming you don't pack too much data in).
