I have returned to this and created a patch for dnsmasq that allows it to
netboot both older and newer Macs. The patch is attached to this email. An
example of configuration is:

dhcp-vendorclass=set:apple-boot,AAPLBSDPC/i386
osx-netboot=tag:apple-boot,"nfs:10.2.3.181:
/imaging/netboot:NetBoot/NetBootSP0/Image.nbi/NetBoot.dmg","NetBoot/NetBootSP0/Image.nbi/i386/booter"

Cheers,
