There are many Boot-132 discs, some are generic, some are tailored for specific motherboards; but for Boot-132 to work it doesnt need to have all the kexts for your hardware, just the basic ones to get OS X installed, and thats mostly the storage controllers (SATA and/or IDE) you are using for your HD/DVD, and after having it installed you can install the necesary kexts for your graphics, sound, network...
If you dont have an existing boot-132 disc for your hardware you can also customize it to add the necessary kexts, but its not as easy as putting them in a folder alongside, there are guides on how to do that, you have to rebuild and burn the iso image with the extra kexts you need (you can do easier customizations with Chameleon2 and a bootable USB stick but that wont let you boot from DVD, you would need to put the DVD installer on the USB and that usually require an existing OS X installation).
Boot-132 doesnt auto install any kexts, you just use it to boot and install the dvd, you have to manually install the kexts (and the bootloader) after installing the main system.
