Yes, this was what I was getting at. I want to be able to do 'boot net' 
in the openboot prom. I suppose I didn't describe correctly.

Thanks for the pointer, my searching hadn't found that, perhaps because 
it's so old.

Unfortunately, the 2 links for the loader (one for nfs and one for tftp) 
are dead. I wonder whether anyone can suggest how I go about creating 
this myself?
