Try the manual page or some howto, you'll find out that you need lines like
this either in the global option or in the host configuration part for a
specific host or group of hosts

....
   filename "pxelinux.0";
#tftp boot server
   next-server 192.168.40.40;
   option
root-path "192.168.40.40:/opt/remote/nfsroot,retry=1,rsize=8192,wsize=8192";
....

I really preffer using flash drives lately as they became really cheap,
about 2GB cost 15EUR or so and a customized deb system is about 100MB ;-)
and may be less
