Hello i am new to the forums, been using openwrt for over a month, i tried dd-wrt also but i don't like the fact that i have to install new packages manually although i feel dd-wrt is a more complete firmware to a newbie like me. Openwrt comes already with OPKG installed 
D-Link DIR-835 A1 BARRIER BREAKER (14.07, r42625)
syslinux-6.03
portmap 6.0-4
nfs-kernel-server 1.3.0-1
odhcpd 2014-08-23
dnsmasq 2.71-4
firewall 2014-09-19
kernel 3.10.49-1
I am running a few packages like samba, openssh and luci-ssl, it's working. I am trying to get the PXE Boot working but i am facing a "file not found error". I followed this guide from the openwrt wiki:
http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/tftp.pxe-server
The part i didn't touch was about the USB mount section since i am already running samba, the usb stick is already mounted and working as EXT4 file format. I did not edit /etc/fstab.
/dev/sda3 27.4G 1.4G 24.6G 5% /mnt/storage
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on /rom type squashfs (ro,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noatime)
tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime)
/dev/mtdblock5 on /overlay type jffs2 (rw,noatime)
overlayfs:/overlay on / type overlayfs (rw,noatime,lowerdir=/,upperdir=/overlay)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=512k,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)
/dev/sda3 on /mnt/storage type ext4 (rw,sync,noatime)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,noatime)
nfsd on /proc/fs/nfsd type nfsd (rw,relatime)
When i start the laptop using the network PXE mode, it loads and i see the PXE menu from OpenWRT. But when it comes to running an installers it just fails saying file not found error (or similar phrase)...
Here is my pxelinux.cfg/default file:

Can anybody help me get this setup properly please.
*** i don't know if this matters to what i am trying to setup right now (PXE) but i want to install STUNNEL and OpenVPN after.. will the PXE configuration change?
