If this is a debian Server, read the instructions from Debian carefully: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/ch04s06.html.en One important thing I missed at the beginning was to use the tftp-hpa package. The other tftp server (package tftpd) does not work at all for pxeboot.
Be careful when reading the settings in pxelinux.cfg/default These must(!) be modified (if you haven't already done that) with the lines: SERIAL 0 19200 0 in the first line and append "console=ttyS0,19200n8" to every "append" line of this file (otherwise you don't see anything). This way, debian netinstall is pretty simple to do (even if OpenBSD is far more simpler ;-) I am running 4 5501-70 with Debian here and 6 with OpenBSD - went through all that pain.
