Although this doesn't exactly answer the question but the info with regards to exits on the 763 (and all planes for that matter) can be found at airliners.net. With regards to boarding, all flights (at the airports I've been to) board through both entrances if available. This has to do with the bridges from the terminal itself . If for example there are 2 entrances forward of the wing and the bridge is a double bridge then they use both doors. If the aircraft (the 763 in your case) has just one entrance then they use one only. At many North American airports they don't have double bridges so they can't use the second door even if it were available. Boarding would be far smoother if they used both doors but this problem has more to do with infrastructure than anything else.
