That's what I used with isc-dhcpd some time ago:
#shared-network keller2 {
# option domain-name "cicely.de";
# option domain-name-servers 10.1.1.22, 10.1.1.8;
# allow bootp;
# default-lease-time 14400;
# max-lease-time 86400;
# server-name "cicely8.cicely.de";
# get-lease-hostnames true;
# authoritative;
# option ntp-servers 10.1.6.9;
#
# subnet 10.1.11.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
# range dynamic-bootp 10.1.11.128 10.1.11.254;
# option domain-name-servers 10.1.1.22, 10.1.1.8;
# option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
# option broadcast-address 10.1.11.255;
# option routers 10.1.11.8;
# filename "netboot";
# next-server 10.1.1.11;
# option root-path "10.1.1.11:/var/d7/testroot/";
# }
#}
netboot is serviced via tftp.
I'm not shure if it still works as there were several rumours
about problems with netboot.
