can you clarify a few things ?

fetch=<>

Im not familiar with this directive, and I didnt see it on syslinux.zytor.com
I can imagine what it should do, but I tried adding it, and saw no
download happening.
what part of the boot actually uses it ?
what would the proper output look like ?
I also tried appending it to the initrd=<img>,filesystem.squashfs,
which did download,
but didnt know what to do with it afterwards.
Is 192.168.100.1 the same box that provides the pxelinux.0 file ?

pfsense is a FreeBSD based dist, right ?
is this what youre using as the dhcpd, tftp server ?

If I had tried this, would I get a clear error ?
I did not, since I saw nothing during the boot process.
