I think you can find the documentation of the kind you are looking for 
at udpcast: (this is just an example from you to work from, as the 
udpcast images aren't really generic)
http://udpcast.linux.lu/bootloader.html#etherboot

There is one etherboot section an one pxelinux section.  For my own 
projects I personally prefer pxelinux as you do not have to do 
_anything_ to your kernel image. (mknbi...)  Etherboot does support 
loading pxelinux.0 files since around version 5.4.13, so you are able to 
use PXE on older computer.

The ltsp-wiki is alway interesting to read for example:

As you said that you have several of these tables I think you really 
should have a look at udpcast, it will allow you to clone one system to 
all the others.
