Dead easy. Go to the www.rom-o-matic.org and get the Etherboot ROM Image
for your NIC in LILO Bootable ROM (.lzlilo) Image format. Save it in
your /boot directory. Add it as an option into your /etc/grub.conf
file. Reboot.

My /etc/grub.conf is shown here (a dual boot Win98 and RH8.0 system -
now a triple boot system with LTSP as the default option):
# grub.conf generated by anaconda

# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this
# file NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.

# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda3
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
