http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/windowsntloader

covers that. Other than that, I do not see a chance: The NT bootloader
will not load more than 512 bytes, which is not enough for etherboot,
or only a loader in the proper format which Etherboot does not know how
to emulate.

For my experience, using GRUB is good enough, and quickly setup as well.
