Can you provide some information on what your specific problem is? 

The typical process is:
 - pxe loads the grub image over tftp
   (the image is typically specified in the dhcpd configuration file)
 - grub fetches proper menu.lst (usually it's menu.lst.$IP)
 - grub reads menu.lst  (see README on Barrelfish source tree for an
   example) and fetches the necessary files from tftp
 - grub starts elver that loads barrelfish kernel

Looking at the tftp logs might be a good starting point to figure out
what's wrong.

cheers,
Kornilios.
