If by BootROM, you are referring to code that makes a machine network
bootable, then it's generally on an EEPROM mounted on the ethernet card. 

I've noticed that newer Intel MB's seem to have BootROM code in them,
using the publically documented PXE standard.  Those boards look for a
server with a TFTP server and the correct PXE init routines.
