It would : speed up the panic-edit-compile-boot-copy-boot kernel hacking : cycle by transforming it to panic-edit-compile-netboot. I usually mount everything readonly when I try a new module just before loading it. It saves a tone of time. All I gotta fsck on the way back up is /var since it won't mount ro after syslog starts, which makes sense if you think about it. mount -ur / mount -ur /usr moutn -ur /junk is what I have in a script. After it succeeds, I do a mount -uwa which updates all the mounts. You can also netboot via a ROM on your ethernet card or via floppy, but I've not done that. The above works well enough for me.
