Thiat is covered by this:
# pxelinux.cfg/default
timeout 150
ontimeout boothd
label boothd
         # boot from the first HD
         # (this is what happens if nothing is pressed for 15 seconds)
         localboot 0

Did that not work for you?

If you are using a rom-o-matic etherboot floppy, then the above won't and you need:

label boothd
# boot from the first HD
         kernel syslinux/chain.c32
         append hd0
