:>     great deal of work required to support this we're stuck with BOOTP
:>     in the kernel. 
:
:Er, hello?  It's _already_been_done_, even.  See above inre: netboot.  

    Good god, you are talking about netboot?  Hello?  Mike, I get the feeling
    that you've never actually tried to use netboot.  You seem to believe
    that it is direct replacement for BOOTP.  It isn't even close.  netboot 
    only works with a very small number of ethernet cards while the BOOTP 
    code in the kernel works with *all* ethernet cards that the kernel 
    supports.

    netboot doesn't work with a single one of my machines.
