The netboot image is just a boot medium that loads the kernel and initrd. It contains the bare essentials to download everything else via network. That works the same as booting over pxe (network boot). Those are just two different boot methods resulting in the same thing being booted. And yes, netboot is generaly something the hardware supports or you need to boot something that can do pxe. Afaik grub has support for that.
