If you have a PXE bootable card, and a compliant motherboard BIOS, it will boot off PXE just fine. You can see it trying to do this as the machine boots - it might prompt to boot off the NIC, or it might say something about DHCP, or so on.
If for some reason your machine wont boot via PXE (I found in my dual ppro motherboard that if I had a disk enabled it wouldn't let me boot off the NIC - I had to disable the drive. As I was trying to use PXE to bootstrap a network install, that didn't help me much), you can perhaps use Microsofts Remote Install Services disk. This is a bootdisk which has the bootcode for PXE for a range of disks on it.

dd if=./pxebootdisk.img of=/dev/fd0
will write it to a floppy disk for you
The next step, of course, is to making your PXE booting machine do something... [PXELinux], which is part of [SYSLinux], will help you out here. PXES, mentioned on the DisklessWorkstationNotes page also makes use of PXE
