Read the man page more closely, and consult termcap(5) for the general

(from termcap(5))
If it is necessary to place a : in a capability it must be escaped as =
\:
or be encoded as \072. =20
You're also missing a number of other colons out of your bootptab:
.default:\
:hn:ht=3D1:vm=3Drfc1048:\
:sm=3D255.255.255.0:\
:sa=3D147.46.44.181:\
:gw=3D147.46.44.1:\
:hd=3D"":\
:bf=3D"kernel":\
:T128=3D"147.46.44.181\072/home":\
:T129=3D64000:\
:rp=3D"147.46.44.181\072/tftpboot":
=20
diskless:\
:ha=3D0050fce9306f:\
:tc=3D.default:
