PXELinux, then Memdisk, then the bootdisk image, preferably 2.88MB :)
Bootdisk image should contain the DOS operating system kernel files, and
the MS Client for NT Networks.
(to gain access to SMB).
If the imagefile fits into RAM on a ramdisk, Wget might also be usable
to obtain the imagefile, if you have a FTP or HTTP server.
a 16bit TFTP client seems to be located at

As for retrieving arguments in DOS, in Syslinux there's a program
mdiskchk (requires Memdisk was used)
Alternatively, use

Where you store the Ghost executable itself, is your decision.
I don't know how good Ghost is, or other comparable programs. Only used
DriveImage before Symantec bought it and converted it into Ghost9/10
