Your best point of reference for setting up remote boot environment is the NT 4 Server Resource Kit. It covers setting up the services, troubleshooting etc, and isn't half bad.

From personal experience I can tell you that Win95, Win311 and NT4 Workstation can be RPLed, although NT4 really performs badly in such an environment.
