What is your question? If you network boot a Linux box, it doesn't
"know" anything about PXE (the P stands for "Pre-Boot". To use
etherboot, get a PXE bootable image from rom-o-matic. You don't need
anything very special for a Linux boot server, just a reasonable DHCP
server (ISC dhcpd v3) and H. Peter Anvin's "PXE bug compatible" one is
recommend.
