To boot from the LAN you need a boot ROM in the Network Interface Card. Most NIC come with a socket for such a ROM but very few come with it as standard. You need to go to the NICs manufacture to get the Boot ROM.

You also need BIOS that with recognise this BOOT ROM and boot from it and not just from internal disks. Most modern BIOS have this facility.
