Are you trying to boot a device into a Busybox environment via PXE? Or
are you trying to boot a device from a Busybox server via PXE? If the
former, then yes, you can boot Linux via PXE so you can boot a
Busybox/Linux system via PXE. If the latter, then Busybox contains a
DHCP server and a TFTP server, so you ought to be able to use it to boot
PXE systems. I'm not aware of any step-by-step instructions, but I doubt
it's any more difficult than any other Linux PXE boot server.
