We're netbooting a bunch of diskless machines, using intel EtherExpress Pro/100+, FreeBSD 3.0-stable and boot ROMs from www.lanworks.com. I had make a tweaked version of rawboot to get them working, though, the source is at http://www.fromme.com/ramboot.tar.gz Only two drawbacks: - Works with aout kernels only (no ELF). - Cannot load lernel.config files, i.e. you can't do any pnp setup.
