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.
