I'm somewhat aware that we have netboot code that understands 3com
3c509s and nc8390's.  Last I checked, one had to burn a boot ROM for
these cards and they were 10Mb.

The current batch of IBM etherjets (probe as fxp0) have dhcp-enabled
boot ROMs built into them.  What is required to support these, or has
someone worked on this already.   100Mb cards could make a decent
diskless workstation/server.

Dave.
