@NaWi,
First attempt was a failure that sent me down an interesting path. Apparently the default install of rEFInd does not include PXE boot capabilities. To get that, I had to build IPXE (an open source EFI PXE boot project) from source. Unfortunately it only builds from Linux so I had to install a Linux VM on VMWare on the Mac side and chase down all of the dependencies and libraries I needed to install to get it built.
The good news is that I have finally managed to get a working rEFInd install that will PXE boot so tonight I should be able to give this a shot.
On an alternate path, I have ordered USB to RS232 cables with a null modem cable to connect them from monoprice. They should come in today or tomorrow. My goal for this conglomeration of hardware is to use them to boot from a serial console if the PXE and autoinstall process doesn't get me where I need to be.
I think this just turned into a quest...
:-)
