I have a couple of diskless workstations here that I have been using a BOOTP kernel from floppy to get going, since the existing netboot doesn't support the xl driver. If this port works for me, I'll commit it and maintain it (pending a little feedback from the others on this thread who have said they'll test it). Thanks, Doug!
