get yaboot, yaboot.conf, vmlinux and initrd.gz, put them on your tftp
partition, adapt it if needed, and once in yaboot, chose the 'rescue' entry.
Not sure if it does NFS though.
Another option is using yaird or initramfs-tools, and generate a ramdisk
containing busybox and stuff. This one should be enough for you, but you need
maybe a bit more man page reading, and manual configuration, but they do NFS,
and i know that at least yaird allows this, and this one may help you :
