Take a look at ftp://wipux2.wifo.uni-mannheim.de/~ftp/pub/NetBSD/ports/i386/diskless It describes how to 'diskless' boot NetBSD clients from a NetBSD server. The only things you'll have to apply to the Linux server are in server/etc, server/var, and server/usr but the server/boot stuff will be no different between linux or netbsd as long as the client is netbsd.
