Hi,

use something like this:

Netboot image creation:
#!/bin/sh
mkelf-linux \
         --output=xboxboot.img <PATHTOYOURKERNEL> <PATHTOYOURINITRD> \
         --ip=<IPXBOX>:<IPNFSSERVER>:<IPGATEWAY>:<NETMASK>:x:eth0:off \
         --append="netconsole=@/,@<IPNFSSERVER>/ root=/dev/nfs 
nfsroot=<IPNFSSERVER>:/var/public/xboxnfsroot pci=biosirq kbd-reset 
splash=silent video=xbox:nohwcursor,hoc=5,voc=6 devfs=mount acpi=hw"

/etc/exports:
/var/public/xboxnfsroot   
<IPXBOX>(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)

/etc/dhcpd.conf:
host xbox{
         hardware ethernet <MACXBOX>;
         fixed-address <IPXBOX>;
         filename "xboxboot.img";
}

/etc/inetd.conf:
tftp            dgram   udp     wait    nobody  /usr/sbin/tcpd  
/usr/sbin/in.tftpd /boot

and put your xboxboot.img in /boot.

Don't forget to set up swap on your xbox harddisk or vir nbd devices 
for network swapping.

Have fun.

Florian
