PXE Booting environment for Gargoyle

Gargoyle users:
I recently became interested in trying to setup a PXE boot environment via my Gargoyle installation on my router.
The first issue I ran into is that the USB Storage option does not work properly on Gargoyle unless you have already formatted the USB disk (I tried to do it via the GUI and it claimed the password was wrong, despite my knowing I typed it correctly). However, running fdisk and mkfs.ext4 from the command line does not escape my capabilities so I have a functioning USB Storage on Gargoyle now.
I saw a posting showing several statements that needed to be added to the /etc/config/dhcp file for PXE booting to work but not much else more than that for how to get it going on Gargoyle.
I know that TFTP service is required for PXE booting and I'd like to setup a TFTP server on my Gargoyle router anyway (for booting Cisco IP Phones). So I'd imagine that would be the first thing I'd need help to get running on Gargoyle.
If anyone else has guidance on setting up a PXE server on Gargoyle I'd surely appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
