Is it possible to boot a client over PXE using custom Linux image using PXELINUX?

So my question is, how can I create custom image (or use any other mean) to boot our Linux system using PXE?
I created ISO using DD utility (over 4GB in size). But PXELINUX bootloader fails to even download that ISO.
