The TFTP server is the easy part. The big question is, will the Mac recognize the Intel Null Modem hardware of the PE? Ubuntu picks it up without a hitch, but Windows doesn't find a driver for it.
If someone has a Mac, just open up a serial Terminal connection with the USB connected to the PE and run the tftpboot command from the Terminal interface.

In Windows, a new device is found, but no drivers are located. In Ubuntu, a new network connection is added. Add a static IP to this new connection (192.168.2.100 is default) and you will be ready for the next step.
