You can take a look at the Linbox Backup Server's files.
They have :
- a grub based boot loader with pxe support (revoboot.pxe)
- and an etherboot disk with PXE emulation which works with vmware
I use this daily to boot vmware in diskless mode.
You should read the pdf documentation to see how it works. You can use
the files in the tarballs since nearly everything is under GPL.
